#EcoHomeContest: Eco Estate
This time it's about the eco home. So I'm selling you the idea of an eco estate where everything is designed and built around the conservation of natural resources, the minimizing the carbon footprint, and the sustainable use of natural building materials. They used concrete for the building material, cork flooring and natural wood. The best use of daylight was proposed and they did solar heating for the whole estate. For this they decorated one of the houses as a show home and showed one of the houses still empty. Imagine rows of houses surrounded with outdoor living spaces and gardens The client for this show house was perceived to be young professionals on the up and up, first time buyers or even grad students finishing their studies to make it in the big city. There's provision for bikes and enough outside living spaces in the gardens to enjoy a healthy and eco friendly life!
This is open day in the estate where the show house was opened to prospective buyers and there's enough interest!
In the estate there's extensive garden spaces with sustainable planting to ensure the eco status of the estate.
Scenes of the city in the distance lurking through the lush planting.
Taking a selfie to show off the new diggs! I think this is a serious buyer!
This picture is showing the glass front room added to all the houses to maintain good lighting in the houses and to make use of the sunlight.
In this eco estate they used sustainable planting to create privacy between the houses and to create private areas in the big garden.
The designed this impressive wooden structures to create outdoor pods which the residents can use as outdoor living areas and to cleverly disguise solar energy panels.
As a sustainable form of transport, they designed bike storage for the convenience of the residents.
The hero of the bedroom is the raw wooden wall that was used as a background wall for the bed. Plants were used throughout the house as part of the décor.
The play of light in the room is so gorgeous!
The room has a good dressing area and has access to the outdoors from the fluted glass doors.
This is the feeling of being in the glass front room, which was styled as an extra dining space. Roof windows was fitted and double doors to open out into the garden area.
This the view from the dining table in the glass room out into the lush garden areas which surrounds it.
Looking from the glass room into the house.
The kitchen was fitted with wooden cabinets and a big island and it flows into the living area. Recycling is one of the most important parts of an eco friendly lifestyle. Therefore it's compulsory for this estate to use the guidelines for good waste recycling.
From the kitchen island looking out into the garden.
This is the living area of the house. Raw wood and plants was used with the concrete walls and on the floors throughout the they used the beautiful cork flooring.
Rattan was added as a décor element in the display case and low seating.
In the bathroom they used the cement tiles with the concrete walls and cork floors.
Plant was used in such a beautiful way to bring the living element of a sustainable carbon footprint in the house. Toiletries was used from companies who respects the earth and her resources.
And with this beautiful light in the bathroom, we came at the end of the open house tour. Please contact the agent and book your tour and don't wait too long to make an offer on a house in this estate!

such a brilliant concept and wonderful execution, you have completely nailed the Eco theme and produced a complex that I'm sure will be so typical of the appearance of future homes. Not only did you take the ecological aspect into account but you furnished the show home in such an stylish way it would entice many to want to buy. The gorgeous bedroom was completely fabulous and I so loved the bathroom with the chic cement tiles and living walls. Such a pleasure to have a guided tour with the owner and i applaud you Hester on such an immaculate home and concept. Excellence!!!
