Answering with the need of more eco-friendly houses, Margarido House is the first custom home in the nation to be LEED-H Platinum certified and GreenPoint Rated. Completed in 2009, this Oakland, California home by McDonald Construction & Development, Inc. is also the first in Northern California to receive LEED-H Platinum Certification.
Eco friendly homes are what architects and designers start to look nowadays. One of those sustainable homes was designed by Simon Winstanley Architects, which located on a spectacular site overlooking the Solway Firth. The site is a steeply sloping, former quarry in a National Scenic Area.
Recently, OBRA Architects have completed a contemporary private residence design in Southampton. The contemporary house is called as the Centrifugal Villa, which represented by its shape “arranged around a hollow center, as if the heart of the house had somehow fallen outside its body.”
Eco friendly architectures are trends which more and more people tend to look when designing their contemporary homes. In Kansas city, duo architects Lauren and Eric Wendlandt from Framework Design architecture firm have completed the 6,500 square feet sustainable home design that encompasses residential, commercial and workshop space in one.
Architect Lloyd Russell has designed and developed a sustainable home design on the desert of Pioneertown, California. The minimalist house which is nicked as the Ultimate Desert Structure, is built upon recycled materials, thus making the architecture as an eco friendly one.
