Stunning Ecotecture That's Green Inside Out

— January 18, 2009 — Eco
Ecotecture, or eco-friendly architecture, is becoming more desirable by people looking to protect and preserve the environment, save money, or both. The gallery here shows the diverse range of green architecture people are building to feel closer to mother nature.

Ecotecture can be very low budget (see the $4,000 hobbit-style architecture), or can refer to multimillion dollar green luxury mansions. While we have seen plenty of eco-friendly skyscrapers, the focus of this cluster is on private homes of nature lovers.
