• We cant completely save our earth from the
  detrimental effects of the constantly changing
  environment but we can find ways to at least
  minimize its impact. And one best way to do this
  is to choose sustainable design architecture.
  Green homes or sustainable homes are designed
  using construction practices and processes that
  are both resource-efficient and environmentally
  responsible.

The continuous development and growth of
communities around the world have a really great
impact on the current and future state of the
natural environment.

• The things that we consume every day, as well as
  the materials that we use in designing, building,
  and operating our homes, all come from different

What is green architecture or sustainable
architecture?

• Green architecture, also commonly referred to as
  green design or sustainable architecture, is one
  of the best approach used by architects to design
  and build a home or structure that does not only
  look visually appealing but also help minimize
  the detrimental effects of constructing buildings
  on the health of both the environment and human.
  By applying eco-friendly construction practices
  and using sustainable building materials, green
  designers and architects can be able to safeguard
  earth, air, and water.

• When we talk about green architecture, we are
  also referring to two of the most popular home
  design trends today, the adaptive home designs
  and earth-friendly home designs.

Basic concepts of adaptive home designs

• With adaptive home designs, we will be dealing
  with two major things. First is our house

  lifestyle. Second is our house designs ability
  not just to adapt but also to withstand
  environmental changes.

Basic concepts of earth-friendly home designs

• The adaptive home design also revolves around the
  sustainable living concept. This type of design
  is specifically intended to make the house safer
  to live in and to make it last for decades. It
  usually includes features like dome-shaped
  ceilings, insulated panels, concrete, maximized
  or efficiently used space, and sturdy lumber.

• When we talk about earth-friendly home design, we
  are basically referring to the type of materials
  we use in building or renovating our houses. An
  earth-friendly home is typically constructed with
  the use of more cost-effective and
  environment-friendly materials.

Most of the earth-friendly homes are designed
with the intention of using natural air and light
instead of just relying solely on electricity.
Aside from mild steel and natural materials like
responsibly harvested lumber, many architects are
now using biodegradable materials when designing
house interiors. The paint used for this type of
design is also eco-friendly which make it
healthier and safer both for the environment and
its occupants.
