An eco-friendly house has a strong relation with the environment around. Realized by Schwartz and Architecture, the project below – also known for its affordable costs – represents an interesting way of mixing contemporary needs with smart solutions. Focusing on the efficient use of energy, water and building materials, the house features large open areas, naturally lighted rooms and generous relaxing areas.
As the architects stated on their website, the building continues their interest in developing prototypes for highly site-responsive, environmentally sensitive homes. The engineers found attractive solutions for outdoor spaces: two private wings wrap around to create a protected open-air courtyard at the center of the form. As a result, this courtyard connects the entry to the living space and the cantilevered deck and views beyond.
