Luscious Green Houses

Before I was blogging here at Blisstree Green I was blogging at b5media’s Offbeat Homes (among other green-minded structure sites) so I have this long term love of green architecture going on.  From time to time I was thinking I’d share some killer green houses here. One, because I LOVE green architecture, and two, it’s good to see what’s happening in the green building realm.

There’s a notion, among folks I’ve met, that all green dwellings are weird, kooky, or minimal (read boring) but that’s not true at all. I actually do like the unique green dwellings, but many green homes are being built nowadays in contemporary styles, modern styles, and basic styles. You can’t even tell that some green homes are green from looking at them, so if you’re interested in green homes, but not in extreme green homes, you do have plenty of options.

Here are some various ends of the green home spectrum. Starting with, yes, the unique. This to-die for home seen above is fresh from the Lifecycle Building Challenge – something that the ever green Jetson Green covered in depth. This particular home, the Loblolly House: Unbolt, Detach, Reassemble was one of the challenge winners and it’s easy to see why. This beautiful beyond belief, prefab, energy conserving, waste reducing home is simply awesome.

If small and sweet is your dream then Tumbleweed homes are perfect for you (see above). Space saving, resource saving, and green to the max.

One of my favorite green homes is the amazing Woodland House. This home is not only unique but greener than green with so many eco-feature you can’t believe it. Learn more.

See a slide show of TEN amazing green homes – from cob to prefab to green remodels and more. There’s a green home styled just for you in this slide show.

From time to time I’ll share some other cool green homes here – stay tuned.
