You may wonder why so many people turn their houses white. It’s chic. Really chick and modern. Designed by Jorge Hernandez de la Garza, the Suntro House is not just a highly modern structure but also a functional one. Located in Morelos, Mexico, the tranquil home stuns with its elegant white furnishings, and amazing pool and impressive lighting that steals the show when night comes. Looks like the perfect place to throw in a party, with a bunch of Tequilla Sunrises … isn’t it? – via

Crafted with outmost elegance by German architects Confused-Direction, Schwimmhaus is a compact modern houseboat that keeps in tune with the tranquil environment that it ventures into. Built with eco-friendliness in mind, the houseboat sports a green roof and is being fabricated out of salvaged wood from an old farm house in addition to other sustainable building materials. Set for completion this spring, an inflatable model of Schwimmhaus threads the waters of Hunte River for now. The interiors of this green houseboat are also crafted to match the simple yet ergonomic style of the boat and the sustainable design the project aims to achieve. – via Inhabitat

Most of us, really appreciate when seeing a new design, but this awesome sculptural home in Somosaguas, Spain, is more than just a modern design and managed to get me drooling. Designed by A-cero Architects on the water’s edge, it’s a stratified building with texturized dark concrete facades, that promotes open space and will sure get you a wow when looking at the pictures. The most amazing things are the rooftop swimming pool that will get all the neighbors to die of envy and the fact that it has some breathtaking lights at night. Now that’s a place I’d love to live for the rest of my life, if I were to choose.

Do you remember the first zero-emission house that was released more than a year ago in UK? Today I hear that the same guys (the Brits) will get the first net-zero carbon house, that reaches the highest level of sustainability. Dubbed the Lighthouse, the highly eco-friendly house was designed by Potton and was meant to “encourage a way of living that is inherently ‘light’ on the world’s resources whilst combining the practicalities of today’s average homeowner.”
It sits on screw piled foundations (raised from the ground to minimize impact), features a sloping 40-degree roof that captures wind for cooling and ventilation, has triple glazed large windowsto reduce heat loss and also packs photovoltaic panels and built-in systems that would recycle rainwater. Not sure how eco-conscious people are, but I’m glad that a net-zero carbon self built home exists.
