Eco Waterfront Homes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Elliot Bay House Has a Roof That Directs Rainwater into a Garden Pool

— November 11, 2015 — Eco
This Elliott Bay abode adds to the many waterfront homes in that region, with unique architecture and an interior design inspired by natural elements.

The house has many functional aspects that make it environmentally friendly, while simultaneously stunning with its modern design. To start, the roof has a strategic linear design that allows rainwater to be collected and directed through a downspout waterfall and into the backyard garden pool. In addition, the entire home is insulated at a rate that is 40% higher than it must be by regulation, meaning that it reduces electricity and money spent to heat the home.

In regard to its interior, there are many components that look like rippling water -- from its rose gold cabinets in the kitchen to the metal rods that make up its beautiful staircase. This nature-incorporating design is certainly a piece to draw inspiration from for other waterfront homes.
Trend Themes
1. Eco-friendly Architecture - Opportunity for architects and designers to incorporate sustainable features like rainwater collection and insulation in their designs.
2. Nature-inspired Interior Design - Potential for interior designers to draw inspiration from natural elements, creating spaces that resemble rippling water and incorporate organic materials.
3. Waterfront Home Innovation - Emerging market for unique and environmentally friendly designs in waterfront real estate, stimulating innovation in construction and home design.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Architects and designers can explore new ways to create eco-friendly and visually appealing structures for residential and commercial purposes.
2. Interior Design - Opportunity for interior designers to incorporate nature-inspired elements and materials into their designs, creating visually striking and unique spaces.
3. Real Estate - Developers and builders can tap into the growing demand for sustainable and aesthetically pleasing waterfront homes, offering innovative and eco-friendly options to buyers.
