Very cool.
I'm surprised more people don't do this. Aircraft = many many sheets of high-quality aluminum alloy. Sure beats recycling. Of course, the trick is to make sure the final product doesn't look like crap.

Aluminum transfers heat and cold like nothing else so i hope she has some crazy insulation.

Comparing to some other metals, aluminum's transfer is nothing.
Now, let's see when Dubai's true baller build a similar house with gold, now that's some crazy heat transfer right there.
But then again, if you are balling enough to build something like that, building a proper heat routing system is nothing... you can ultimately transfer enough heat that can power most of your electronics in your place.
