Eco-Friendly Matrix Mansions

The Michael Jantzen M House is Powered by Sustainable Energy Sources

— July 1, 2011 — Eco
The Michael Jantzen M House is the newest addition to his collection of sustainable eco-architectural masterpieces. The literal green house was designed to function as either a private vacation retreat or a hi-tech resort complex.

It is powered by sustainable energy sources such as sun and wind energy and is completely self-sufficent. According to Hype Beast, the house was "built from his pronounced M-vironment system [and] consists of a series of rectangular panels that are attached with hinges to an open space frame grid of seven interlocking cubes."

Implications - In response to the eco movement, architects and designers are adopting sustainable eco-friendly alternatives to modern structures. Consumers concerned with the state of the environment are looking for private spaces, retail spaces, or even offices that reflect this concern.
Trend Themes
1. Sustainable Eco-architecture - The trend of sustainable eco-friendly architecture is disrupting traditional building methods, creating new opportunities for architects and designers to incorporate sustainable energy sources into their designs.
2. Self-sufficient Buildings - The concept of self-sufficient buildings, powered by sustainable energy sources like sun and wind, is a growing trend that presents opportunities for sustainable energy companies to collaborate with architects and designers on new projects.
3. Modular Design - Modular design, as demonstrated in the M House, is a trend that allows for flexibility and adaptability in building design, creating opportunities for architects and designers to incorporate sustainable, modular elements into their projects.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - The architecture industry is being disrupted by the trend of sustainable eco-friendly architecture, presenting new opportunities to incorporate sustainable energy sources and modular design into building projects.
2. Renewable Energy - The renewable energy industry is finding new opportunities to collaborate with architects and designers on self-sufficient building projects that incorporate sustainable energy sources like sun and wind.
3. Hospitality - The hospitality industry has an opportunity to meet the needs of environmentally-conscious consumers by incorporating sustainable, self-sufficient design into vacation retreats and resorts.
