Eco Factor: Sustainably constructed house makes use of renewable energy.

France-based Franklin Azzi Architecture have renovated an old hunting house into a modern green dwelling, using smart and sustainable building practices and renewable energy generation systems. Designed in Normandy, France, the house extension of the design consists of wood, canvas covers and a camouflage of the Cuban Army.

With slabs on both sides of the house serving as heating floors, the house makes use of a hybrid solar energy generating system and geothermal energy. Rainwater is harnessed with sophisticated rainwater harvesting systems, which suffice water needs. The assembly was done onsite using all recyclable materials to reduce the house’s impact on the environment. Windows and sunroofs provide the much needed ventilation and allow sunlight to illuminate the interiors.
