Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'House in Lemesos' by George Papadopoulos

— August 6, 2010 — Eco
Architect George Papadopoulos branched out of his usual set and stage designs to build the 'House in Lemesos' home for his family.

The home embraces a neoclassic concept, with most rooms a-lined with the internal courtyard, providing privacy for the owners. With the mountain air passing through the roof and its leafy surroundings, the house cools itself naturally with no air conditioning system required.

Implications - As a result of the recent economic downturn, people are favoring designs that can offer them savings in other areas; be it solar panels, energy-efficient appliances or simply better ventilation -- spending more initially can help consumers save in the long run. By creating products and services that boast long-term benefit, consumers will be more willing to spend more initially.
Trend Themes
1. Energy-efficient Homes - Designing and building homes that incorporate energy-efficient features and natural cooling systems can provide long-term cost savings for homeowners.
2. Neoclassic Architecture - Embracing neoclassical design concepts can create unique and visually appealing spaces for residential and commercial buildings.
3. Sustainable Living - Promoting sustainable living practices and environmentally friendly designs can attract consumers who value eco-conscious lifestyles.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture and Construction - The architecture and construction industry can capitalize on the trend of energy-efficient homes and neoclassical designs by offering innovative building solutions.
2. Renewable Energy - The renewable energy industry can provide sustainable energy solutions to support the growing demand for energy-efficient homes and eco-conscious living.
3. Interior Design - The interior design industry can cater to the demand for neoclassical aesthetics by offering unique furniture and decor options that complement such architectural styles.
