Luxury Green Home Design – Acqua Liana by Frank McKinney
Acqua Liana is a house which showed that not only small houses could be green and LEED certificated. This house is an incredible 15,071 square foot mansion that sits on 1.6 acres of oceanfront property near Palm Beach in Manalapan, Florida. Besides having 7 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms it has a lot of other features of luxury home design. Some of these features are: an oversized garage with windows to the pool above, fitness studio, swimmable water gardens, glass office, glass wine cellar, glass staircase, glass elevators, 2,000 gallon aquarium bar, waterfall spa with fireplace, yacht dockage and so on. LEED certificate became possible because the house utilizes enough solar power to run two average-sized homes, energy efficient appliances and air-conditioning, roof design that collects runoff water and several pools and ponds which reduce site’s temperature. Of course the price for such luxury is also amazing – $29,000,000. [Frank McKinney]

Villa with Ocean View and Bad Weather Conditions – H-House by WRB

Villa with Ocean View and Bad Weather Conditions – H-House by WRB
This house is located in Trosa, one of the wealthiest communities in Sweden. 40 minutes south from Stockholm and can find great villas with ocean views and better weather. Although the weather isn’t as good as it could be. Summers are light but short and the wind sometimes is a problem in that area. In spite of that WRB Architects tried to erase the border between indoor and outdoor. H-shape helps to create protected from winds courtyard, partly covered under roof. The main veranda is fully under roof and an open fireplace keeps temperature up during spring and fall. Main materials used during the construction are: concrete, rusty steel, untreated pine wood and oiled wenge. Even though the exterior looks a bit rough the interior made in dark wood is comfy enough.
