Never mind What would Jesus drive; What would Yoda do if he had an RP machine? The building above is our closest guess.
In actuality it's a design by French architecture firm R&Sie(n) for a Swiss ice museum (which sounds only a little less weird than a Yoda RP house). The intended manufacturing process is quite fascinating: head architect Francois Roche managed to locate a special 5-axis CNC machine that can work a 5-meter by 40-meter area, and the museum will be constructed on-site, slice by slice. The raw materials for the slices will all come from locally-harvested trees.
When asked by a construction worker named Luc where to acquire the wood, Roche reportedly waved his hand and said "Use the forest, Luc." (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
