GORGEOUS & GREEN

I came across this Californian house over at the excellent Inhabitat site. The Beitcher Residence combines sustainable materials and the latest green technologies to create an amazing home that manages to be beautifully designed and environmentally friendly. Renewable Bamboo and Palm wood have been used for ceilings and floors in the interior and creates a cosy but contemporary atmosphere. Strawboard has been used to create the cabinets throughout the house whilst Cesar stone was used for the countertops. The large amount of glazing ensures that this home is light filled and benefits from solar energy. This droolworthy green residence truly is a credit to the architects (W3 Architects) and owners.
