This prefab house has an unusual, one of a kind feature that makes this house stand out of the crowds. It can change its skin’s color mimicking the colors of its surroundings and mostly visible as the season changes since each season boasts its own colors. The Chameleon House by Anderson Anderson Architecture is built of galvanized metal cladding and is wrapped in a skirting wall of recycled translucent polyethylene slats. These slats are those which make the trick, they can dissolve and reflect lights from their surrounding, and creating some colorful reflections which mimic the colors of the beautiful surrounding in its location on a hill surrounded by agricultural landscape overlooking the Lake Michigan. “The translucent polyethylene material set out over the dully reflective wall cladding is chosen for its ability to gather the light and color of its landscape, dissolving the finely shadowed and inexplicably haloed structure into the seasonal color cycle of snow and ice and black twig tracery; pale pink blossom clouds; pollen green leaf and grass; golden straw and vivid foliage,” said the architects.
