If you wish to make a home that is close to the heart of nature, then you might want to take a look at the Albertson Residence. This beautiful green home is unlike many of those extravagant ones, which might not seem practical to replicate or are too expensive for everyone. This one feels like bringing the wild into your own home; but, in a beautiful and orderly fashion.
The gorgeous home is not pretentious, incorporates simple green features, and the sum of the parts is surely greater than the individual elements. The design relies largely on staying close to local material in the use of construction. This reduces both economic strain and also carbon-footprint that is otherwise caused due to vast distances involved in transportation.
The perimeter walls are constructed from re-purposed shipping pallets and the interiors crafted from Whole Tree. This ensures that further energy, time and resources are not wasted in crafting out commercially used wood. Yet, the interiors look serene and give you a feeling of almost climbing into a treehouse. The arching shed roof angles to the south for passive solar heating and, hence, reduces the home’s dependence on artificial heating.
A high ceiling design ensures that a spacious home can be made out of the 1000 sq. feet of space available. Simple, elegant and planet-friendly at heart, homes like Albertson Residence hopefully are replicated more often.
