Why is sustainable architecture important?

• With the never ending environmental issues we
  have today, many people are getting involved in
  finding ways to at least minimize the negative
  impact of building new houses to the environment.
  And one best way that architects do to minimize
  this adverse environmental impact is to design
  homes and buildings that are sustainable and
  environmentally friendly.

• With sustainable architecture, green architects
  utilize a conscious approach to ecological and
  energy conservation in making the design of the
  built structure. This approach includes
  efficiently using energy, development space,
  materials, and ecosystem in moderation.

• One of the notable exemplars of a sustainable
  architecture is Paul Bernier Architecte's House
  on Lac Grenier in Estérel, Canada. This
  innovative and sustainable residence is built on
  a lakefront site. It wonderfully blends with its
  surrounding environment. With this House on Lac
  Grenier, Paul Bernier Architecte is able to
  amalgamate site topography and beauty with the
  use of natural materials.

• It is distinctively designed with cedar slats and
  a green roof which gives room for nature to grow
  onto the structure itself. The interior features
  of the structure include three abstract hickory
  built-in units which provide not only storage but
  also hide away living essentials.

• Through the large glass windows, you can enjoy a
  breathtaking view of the surrounding creek and
  forest. The house can get shaded by the trees
  that surround it giving cooler temperature during
  the summer season. The bare branches of the same
  trees can also provide warmth and sunlight during
  the cold days. The private areas of the house are
  nicely separated from the open atmosphere of main
  minimalist rooms of the house.
