5 Best Eco-Friendly

Houses

 Nowadays it is very popular to have an eco
friendly house and many people tend to make
their house as eco friendly as possible. Some use
eco-friendly materials, others take steps to reduce
water or electricity consumption.
Zero Carbon House,
Birmingham
This eco-friendly home does what it
says on the tin. Solar panels adorn
the roof, a water tank collects rain
water to run the toilets and it takes
advantage of as much natural light
as possible to reduce electricity
consumption.
 The 44 sq m (473 sq ft)
home is built around a
central frame constructed
from bamboo that is clad
using locally-sourced
materials including
bamboo, fiberboard, and
coconut leaves. The
homes are expected to be
produced at a cost of just
US$2,500.

Blooming Bamboo
 P.A.T.H.
Renowned French
designer and architect
Philippe Starck recently
teamed-up with
Slovenian prefab firm
Riko to bring out a new
line of high-end prefab
houses called
Prefabricated Accessible
Technological Homes (or
P.A.T.H.).
 The roof looks as if it is
yet to be finished. Its
role is to incorporate
the house into the
environment without
interrupting the urban
topography. Instead of
closing the roof, the
designers decided to
transform it into a green
terrace.

Eco-sustainable house 
 Soleta Zero Energy One
The designers wished to construct
an efficient residence that comes
at a reasonable price as opposed
to many other ‘green homes’. So,
they created this fashionable
dwelling from native natural
materials, including wood. The
dwelling is a small one, but it
saves on power—up to 45%,
through various technological
features, and it can be
constructed anywhere. Also,
insulated glass is incorporated
into the house to let in natural
light.
 Nowadays one of the biggest problems is
pollution and excessive consumption of
resources, so we as future architects must
bring our impact in solving these problems. As
you have seen making an eco house has many
benefits for the owner and for the
environment, so I urge you to promote this
idea together.
