Photo of a house lit up at night.

The Lawrence Institute of Technology house shows off beautifully at night. The house exterior is a rainscreen system made from Skatelite, a product generally used for skateboarding ramps. The material is weatherproof, thin, lightweight, extremely durable, and made of paper—which is both renewable and sustainable. (Credit: Kaye Evans-Lutterodt/Solar Decathlon)
