A stunning, full-color showcase of the latest innovations in sustainable architecture and eco-friendly design, featuring thirty-five diverse homes.
Today’s architects, designers, building craftsman, and homeowners are becoming more environmentally conscious, choosing eco-friendly living spaces with small carbon footprints that are built with sustainable materials. New Eco Homes explores various aspects of modern eco design, from its environmental and economical benefits, to factors considered when choosing materials: how much energy went into manufacturing the product, whether it is long lasting, and whether it can be recycled or safely disposed of as it eventually breaks down. It also examines important details involved in building, such as climate regulation, drainage systems, and regional planning. Each of the thirty-five projects contain photographs, floor plans, and detailed drawings that illustrate certain sustainable features, revealing how much the parameters of ecological design have expanded in just a few short years.
New Eco Homes includes an introductory interview with an international specialist in green building, site plans, architectural drawings, and a complete directory of resources. Combining concern for the environmental with aesthetic sensibility, it is an essential resource for architects, designers, and homeowners interested in creating warm and inviting homes that are not only beautiful to inhabit, but help protect and conserve our natural environment as well.

History & Criticism

Tiny Homes features a collection of ultra-modern structures designed for maximum style at minimum size. These compact dwellings are designed to do the most possible with the only a fraction of the space available for most homes, whether squeezed into crevices in impacted urban neighborhoods or perched on the edge of a forest or river, allowing for a highly-reduced building footprint without sacrificing comfort or functionality. The book includes floor plans as well as high-quality photography of both interiors and exteriors, as well as photos that show how the minuscule constructions nestle into or stand out from their surrounding environments. Tiny Homes promises to be a huge source of inspiration for laypeople, architects and designers interested in this ongoing architectural phenomenon.
