Eco-Luxury Architecture - $15 Million Orchid House (GALLERY)
|
This is the design of a sustainable, eco-friendly house shaped in the form of a bee orchid. The house, which is called The Orchid and is located in the UK, uses geothermal heating and an underground pump to create its own energy. So far so good.
The Orchid, designed by Sarah Featherstone, sits on 550 acres of beautiful land in Cotswold which is a privately-owned nature reserve and it is priced at £7.2 million euros or about $15 million dollars. And that’s where I get off the ride. Fifteen million dollars? Isn’t that sort of counter-intuitive to the whole environmental movement?
Shaped like a bee orchid, this house is now the UK’s most expensive country home too. Called as The Orchid, it is to be built on a 550-acre Cotswold nature reserve. Building work for the house, which is one of the country’s most complicated planning applications, will take three years to complete. And if you are wondering that why it is called Eco house them it is believed that this den will produce more energy than it uses, with an underground pump and geothermal heating.
