...a bit eccentric, wouldn't you say?
What would drive someone to do this? Is it really important to her, like on some religious level? Or merely a fashion trend taken way too far?

The home, that sports 25 bedrooms and 5 lounges, is said to supply its need of water and electricity making it completely sustainable and quite inexpensive for a home of its size and technology. The eye’s black outline is made up of photovoltaic panels, which work in combination with a geothermal system to provide all the home’s energy needs. Rainwater is harvested, and an on-site biological system treats waste water. The multi-level central dome is framed with steel and clad in glazed glass panels.
Although the greenhouse effect promotes natural heating, certain measures – such as landscaping and tilted louvers – ensure that the heat is bearable during the summer time. It will also have plenty of ventilation. According to reports the commissioned architect, Luis de Garrido, was given an unlimited budget to create the glass domed, completely energy and water self-sufficient structure.
