The KTLH1.5 by LivingHomes has attained a level of accreditation that only the most technologically advanced and [eco-friendly structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/three-oaks-farm) ever obtain: a LEED platinum rating.

Built from [recycled timber and steel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timber-residence) and featuring thorough [energy and water saving technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-on-groundwater), the KTLH1.5 by LivingHomes represents the design firm's stringent commitment to sustainability. Fortunately, the design's rigorous attention to eco concerns didn't come at the cost of its interior design, as the stylish pictures in this gallery can certainly attest.

**Implications** - Unsurprisingly, LivingHomes is incredibly excited about these new developments. "We are extremely honored to receive another LEED Platinum rating with a LivingHome -- a level that very few homes ever achieve," said a statement released through their website.

Kudos LivingHome!
