The New Sustainable House: Planet-Friendly Home Design - Hardcover
Description
by Penny Craswell (Author)
Designing with the environment in mind is not new. What is new is the increasing number of ways houses can be more sustainably built. With a fresh focus on design ingenuity and innovative technologies and materials, The New Sustainable House demonstrates that there is more to ecologically motivated construction than solar panels and water tanks.
From a mud-brick single-story box built in the Texas desert to an all-timber Swedish cabin that is completely petrochemical-free, what unites this diverse collection of houses is the shared motivation of the architects and clients to do as little damage as possible to the planet, without compromising on comfort or aesthetics. This compelling survey shows that the environmental impact of every home, no matter the size or location, can be greatly reduced with creative and responsible design.
