Can huge homes be sustainable?


seattle houses 2, originally uploaded by seewhy.
Here's an interesting juxtaposition of a modern home built as infill, adjacent to a typical neighborhood Craftsman home in West Seattle, near Alki. Though I approve of building a modern home rather than a fake "old house", I would like to see it smaller and keeping with the scale of the neighborhood. Cheaper and more efficient to heat equals better for the environment and better for the neighborhood.

    I think it depends on the homeowners, but I don't see why a home like this can't be sustainable. This is exactly the reason why we chose to look for houses for rent in Northern Kentucky instead of looking for houses for sale.

    Yes, huge homes can be sustainable. Like Eloifarr said, it depends on the homeowner and his lifestyle. I have seen new homes for sale that are sustainable and eco friendly.

    It is possible for homes to be sustainable. It depends on the home builders you will hire.

    Yes, huge homes can be sustainable. I have recently bought a home in Kalamazoo housing. Me and my husband ensured that our house will be eco friendly at all cost.

    Going green is gaining a lot of popularity. I know some Long Island home builders that included green efforts in their newer projects.

    Huge homes that are professionally constructed can really be sustainable. Making your home green will definitely increase its value.

    I like this house because it's spacious and it's the street and the neighborhood. I really hope I could get affordable mortgage rates Long Island ny soon so I could buy a new home like this.

    A huge house can become sustainable only if the materials to be used are of high and excellent qualities. It is also imperative to create a very good foundation in creating a house. This will prevent damages in case of disasters. Anyway, I agree that it's important to make a greener home to help the environment.
