If you think you sacrifice style when you opt for sustainability, then you’ve never seen the Hollywood Hills abode featured in this week’s home tour. It’s solar-powered, sited for maximum natural cooling, and has low-water landscaping. It also has breathtaking views and a modernist profile so striking it reminded at least one member of the team that worked on it of a soaring raptor. This is a seriously cool-looking home, and it treads lightly on the Earth, too. Read on to see how they did it!
A next-gen modern architectural gem is a model for gracious, sustainable living, taking full advantage of solar power, rainwater collection, geothermal temperature control, and the cooling breezes that tease the crestline along Mulholland Drive.
