Eco-design photos for web-gallery?

Predislava — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 05:40:18 GMT

Hello everyone,
I am looking for quality photos of green/sustainable residential building projects for single family residences and condos, that I can post on my website's gallery:

- examples of architecture & interior design
- before & after remodeling photos

The website is new, with a mission of educating the public on practical eco-friendly home design options. This is an opportunity to promote both the designer's talents and public awareness. My focus is on modern/conventional green homes (not mud homes, earthships, and the like). If you know of designers/architects who may be interested in having their work featured (read: free advertising opportunity), please let me know!!

Thank you,
Slava

Creating a New Living Environment from Scratch.

mozez — Sun, 27 Mar 2005 22:24:33 GMT

I’d like to find multiple acres with loose zoning restrictions, beautiful environment, views and a good climate. Then get together with a large group that would contribute and take part in. I know it’s been done before. Not a commune, more like a co-op. There are many examples both good and not so good. But, our village would have an artistic freedom that is seldom if ever found in today’s housing/urban design.

Any ideas?

New Year, New Visions

The Hundertwasserhaus in Vienna is justly celebrated is a grand design. Why are we so far behind in this country?

The Hundertwasser House Vienna (German Hundertwasserhaus) is an apartment house in Vienna, Austria, designed by Austrian architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser. This landmark of Vienna is located in the 3. district, Kegelgasse 34-38 / Löwengasse 41-43, at 48°12′26″N, 16°23′39″E.
The house was built between 1983 and 1986 by architect Univ.-Prof. Joseph Krawina. It features undulating floors ("an uneven floor is a melody to the feet"), a roof covered with earth and grass, and large trees growing from inside the rooms, with limbs extending from windows. Hundertwasser took no payment for the design of the house, declaring that it was worth it, to prevent something ugly from going up in its place.

Within the house there are 52 apartments, four offices, 16 private terraces and three communal terraces, and a total of 250 trees and bushes. The Hundertwasser House is one of Austria's most visited buildings, and has become part of Austria's cultural heritage.

An experiment in Arkansas

mozez — Tue, 24 May 2005 02:55:06 GMT

I’ve been asked to design a number of outrageous living environments on a 50+ acre-wooded site along Bull Shoals Lake in Arkansas:
http://www.southshore.com/bsdam.htm
There will be minimal restrictions. We have already constructed a private dock along the shore. It’s really a beautiful clean canvas ready to be painted. The owner is going to allow about 25 third of an acre circular building sites. The rest of the land and dock will be communal. We are talking about sharing the fun with some future thinking people. Any ideas?

How many people live in that house in the photos? I see three carports? I like all of the windows, but is this supposed to be an eco-friendly residence?

low maintenance house

Catherine — Thu, 24 Mar 2005 02:43:36 GMT

i like solid, energy efficient, low maintenance houses with a light and airy feeling of warmth, yet space. And lots of closed storage, i.e. closets, closet walls, etc. Natural looking and feeling materials: wood stone, tile, glass, interesting windows, cathedral spaces....big decks.....preferably overlooking water or hills...
