This contemporary luxury residence is placed on the steep hill slope facing the pacific ocean. The total area of the house is 6500 sq. ft. and almost a half of it (2500 sq. ft.) is a open-air living space with multiple entertainment areas, Jacuzzi, barbeque and ocean views, which is great considering the Costa Rican weather conditions. The private indoor facilities include master’s bedroom, junior bedroom, two guest bedrooms and caretaker’s quarters, each with separate bathroom. It’s perfect to accommodate a company of eight on vacation.

I think everyone in a big city sometimes wants to go to the countryside and enjoy fresh air, walks in the woods and singing of birds. Present to you charming Dwelling House by Andersson Wise Architects located in Bigfork, Montana. Feature of a country house is primarily in the privacy and closeness to nature. It should not be large, but cozy and warm. This house fully satisfies the requirements. In the internal and external decoration of the home were used natural materials such as wood and stone. Homeowners can eat outdoors or simply enjoy the magnificent views of forest and water due to the open terrace. We especially love the bedroom with panoramic windows and living area with beautiful fireplace.

This is probably one of the most featured and green houses we reviewed yet. We used to think of a contemporary house as of the one with unusual architecture and crazy amount of swimming pools. Well this house is about the latest technology serving to create a warm and inspiring home for a single family. Active and passive eco technologies include the thickly insulated multi-layer envelope, high efficiency fiberglass windows, LED lighting, Hunter Douglas automatic windows coverings and the Eco Dashboard real-time monitoring system. Apart from the regular living areas the house has a home gym, huge swimming pool and a two-car garage; moreover the house is already equipped by two electric vehicles. A bunch of solar panels on the roof produce 17kW of energy, which is enough to power up both the house and the electro mobiles.
