When I first time seen this houses I can’t believed, finally some one build some homes that I really like it! Since than I desperately looking for some company or contractor to build one for me when I will retired but it seems to me that I’m out of any luck! Please if any one here knows who can build one in Canada (Quebec) let me know. Thank you! M.

Back in the 70's a company from St-Adèle, Qc, became an official distributor of the Venturo. Yeah, this is odd. I read that in a old architectural magazine. But from what I know, none was built or transported in Qc.

Many new designers propose similar concept today. The closest I've found is www.loftcube.net.
