Recent developments in technology and home-generated renewable energy have made it increasingly practical and affordable to build away from urban and rural infrastructures. This survey showcases the cutting-edge architecture and technology enabling us to escape to some of the most extraordinary natural environments on the planet.
All the houses featured in this book are fully or almost fully self-sufficient in terms of energy, water, and, in some cases, food. Architecture and interior design expert Dominic Bradbury explains how each architect has created a rewarding and tempting reality for everyday living in these wild and natural settings.
The diverse projects collected here demonstrate innovative ways architects and their clients are tackling extreme climates, remoteness, and construction challenges to enable a new way of life that is both liberating and sustainable.
The imperative to reduce our carbon footprints and shift towards renewable energy sources is having a profound impact on our domestic lives. This fascinating survey demonstrates that creative architecture, design, and technology are redefining the possibilities for leading a truly rewarding and responsible lifestyle.
