<p>In some of the most visited cities in the world, some hotels have been built which, due to their original design and their special characteristics, have become monuments of the city and spots of touristic interest. They are photographed and visited daily, many reaching the point where they are seen as a badge of the city. We present a selection of singular and unique hotels, both by their architecture and their interior design.</p>

<p><div>Ecological architecture entails multiple factors within the construction process of a home and the impact that construction will have during its life-cycle, from its planning, execution, and use, until its demolition. Residential ecological architecture takes into account the specific needs of the people who will inhabit each home. The following pages show a wide variety of sustainable and ecological resources: from recouping traditional architectural solutions like cross-ventilation and taking advantage of natural light, to new insulation and self-supplying energy systems.</div></p>

The New Ecological Home: Materials for bioclimatic design

<p><div>More and more people prefer the simplicity of a small mobile home to enjoy nature instead of a conventional house; it's about swapping luxury for freedom. These houses are built on a trailer so they can be transported and are more complete than a caravan, with a high quality design finish.</div></p>

Tiny Mobile Homes: Small space – Big freedom

<p>The idea of an environmentally respectful house is appealing to more and more people. In the last decade, architects from all over the world have been especially interested in the possibilities of an innovative home in a natural environment, with ecological solutions and a low impact on the environment. The book <i>Tiny Cabins and Treehouses</i> shows a new concept of housing and some of the most original and avant-garde pieces of contemporary architecture.</p>

<p>Interest in living off the grid, i.e. self-sufficiently without relying on public services such as the municipal water supply, electricity, or local sewage and gas systems, has come on the scene as a greener, cheaper, and more independent way of life. Homes that are off-grid generally allow for a smaller carbon footprint, and a sense of freedom and self-sufficiency. Living Off-Grid sets you free from depending on a company, either using solar panels, wind turbines, a micro water system, or a combination of these technologies. Other times, an Off-Grid system can work as an energy backup or be complemented by the grid when renewable technologies cannot produce all the energy needed. We have gathered different examples of nature-powered homes, which are partially or completely off-grid, to focus on the importance of these homes, which put sustainability first.</p>

Off Grid: Nature Powered Homes

<p><i>Off-Grid House Plans</i> has more than 250 floor plans, sections, sketches, and elevations, as well as all the construction details in all projects. An Off-Grid system allows you to live without using a utility company, generating your own energy. A well designed system also has numerous environmental advantages, that help you to reduce your carbon footprint, providing cleaner, more sustainable energy. In the long-term it is financially viable, and also teaches us how to consume energy responsibly. These off-grid homes, which run on solar, wind, or hydro power, are just a few examples of how people are leaving the city behind for a life in the country in contact with nature.</p>
