Specifications
Recent advancements in technology and renewable energy sources that are produced at home have made building away from urban and rural infrastructures more practical and economical than ever. This exploration of the world's most innovative self-sustaining homes reveals the cutting-edge architecture and technology that enable us to escape into some of the planet’s most extraordinary natural environments. All the homes featured in this book are fully or nearly fully self-sufficient in terms of energy, water, and, in some cases, food. Architecture and interior design expert Dominic Bradbury reveals how each architect has made everyday life in these wild and natural environments a rewarding and enticing reality. From mountain cabins in the far Northern Hemisphere to coastal retreats accessible only by boat, the diverse projects collected here demonstrate the innovative ways architects and their clients are tackling extreme weather conditions, isolation, and construction challenges to allow a new way of living that is as liberating as it is sustainable. The necessity to reduce our carbon footprint and the revolutionary focus on renewable energy sources have a significant impact on our domestic lives. This intriguing exploration proves that creative architecture, design, and technology are revolutionizing the possibilities for us to live a truly rewarding and responsible lifestyle.
