There is a lot going on as design innovation and tech are really stretching what can be done. High ceilings and walls with lots of efficient glass are going to get interesting when those surfaces start to generate power. Having floor to ceiling views is cool. Having floor to ceiling views that also generate significant off grid power is not that far off. Very interesting</p>
