Less is better

“A home is sanctuary, it should reflect our integrity” The design of a house is an amazing adventure.

The Design of a sustainable green home is an art. It involves taking into consideration the environment. Respecting the capricious way trees are born, rather than submit nature to our needs. It is about prioritizing constructing in a non obtrusive way. It involves reducing the footprint we will insert into the area. It also involves recognizing what nature gifts us and using it with efficiency in a structure and design for the area. Something like Synergistic meets Holistic. A perfect match between fun textures, beautiful colors, local materials, comfort and efficiency that compliments nature rather than steal the light from it.

People today are seeking more and more not only sustainable homes but a community that is so as well. A community who recycles, who produces less and less waste every day because it is so well organized the waste is seen as an opportunity to do something; livable architecture, open spaces to play in, beautiful views to fill up the senses, and a constant breeze to keep us cool. Visualizing such a low density concept is creativity. Making it happen is a gift. Concepts like green roof, earthship homes, and dome houses are a trend today.

Who said bigger is better? Today’s world asks for minimalistic. Today less is the new better.

Join the trend?

Make it viral!
