Effective And Beautiful Green House Design

This uber modern minimalist house overlooking the Coldwater Canyon is located in Beverly Hills California and is the creation of Aleks Istanbullu Architects. Called the green house, it has been inspired by Mother Nature and every nook and corner of this unique structure evokes the beauty of nature. The building is enveloped by a canopy of trees which blend seamlessly with the exterior of colored fiber cement green panels. It has been built apart from the main house as a place where the owners can have a quiet place to read, relax or listen to music, much like a private den. The green color theme on the exterior blends with a similar nature inspired
theme in the interior which has Wenge closet doors and bright resin panels. A charming pond outside has four granite stepping stones that form a pathway to a solid wengé-stained door in the center of a clear glass wall.

Wenge is a dark colored tropical timber, with a distinctive figure, very heavy and hard which makes it suitable for flooring and staircases. The color wenge is inspired from this wood. The green house consists of a kitchen, a bedroom, a bath and double-
height library with 16-foot-tall bookshelves. Aleks Istanbullu have addressed their concern for global warming and deforestation
all over the world with the green house which symbolises nature. Aleks Istanbullu Architects, AIA was formed 1986 have since been involved in a diverse range of projects including rehabilitation of commercial and institutional facilities, multi-unit housing projects, child care centers, tenant improvements and single family houses.

A growing tribe of individuals and architects have been making a concerted effort to reduce their carbon footprint by building eco-friendly houses. The interest in this industry has fuelled technological innovations in building materials and techniques in
wind turbines, solar panels, high efficiency lighting, ultra efficient insulation, glazing, water conservation, plumbing, recycling etc.
Eco friendly houses or sustainable buildings can be defined as structures that are environmentally responsible and resource – efficient throughout the life-cycle of the building. These environmentally friendly factors are across the spectrum and range from the site for the construction to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. On the other hand, the classical building design is restricted to the factors like economy, utility, durability and comfort. Green buildings go the extra mile and look much beyond the narrow perspective of the building itself, taking many more factors into consideration such as efficiently
using energy, water, and other resources, protecting the health of the occupants and improving employee productivity and mitigating as far as possible if not altogether waste, pollution and environmental degradation.
