Heh, it was actually designed by our CEO, a designer from Mississippi — he's been working on the concept since Katrina, finally got it funded a year ago.
Surprised there are no architects on the team - it looks pretty badly designed in terms of energy usage - an impermeable membrane designed to trap heat in. Even a solar attic fan-style ventilation system on the top that pulls hot air out and draws fresh air in from vents on the ground could do great wonders without having to install A/C, etc.
