The competition is ON this year for the greenest gingerbread house! We’ve already seen Michelle Kaufman’s gingerSolaire, which premiered at the beginning of December, but now, HOK has entered the ring with their triplex, LEED Platinum for Homes design. HOK’s design incorporates a number of sugar-inspired eco specs. Hershey’s Chocolate solar panels and gumdrop wind turbines generate candy-power for the homes while black licorice rainwater collectors reduce irrigation needs. The homes even have a ground source heat pump buried underground, and what looks like green jelly bean and M&M roof terraces.
