spanish green home…eco-living the dream
By on February 24th, 2008

This gorgeous eco-beauty is a holiday home perched atop a Spanish cliff…
Ooohhh beauty Divine. Imagine your vacation home here overlooking the blue sea in Spain and totally designed green. Ok, so let’s visualize….
Located in Cantabria, Spain (that’s in the gorgeous Northern part of the country)…and designed by Madrid-based Nolaster Architects, Casa OS, this home integrates green building techniques to create high-end, low-impact accommodation. Source: Inhabitat

Daytime view….Imagine the view from inside this baby…
Ok, so here are some of the green details…
“The front of the home looks out over the sea with the back end supported by stilts over a cavern in a dug-out hill. Combining this wind protection with insulating grass roof means that temperature is much easier and less energy-intensive to control and the building’s visual impact is much less imposing. Other features include an inner yard to provide an open space protected from wind and rainwater collection for reuse fushing toilets and watering the roof and garden in summer.”
Love the aesthetics. Very Euro-modern but peaceful….
One last photo:

Is that the most perfect spot for a picnic? And some snuggling with a good book…Yes, sign me up…By the way, this is their grass roof…I’m loving this….
This is seriously like one of those guilt free pleasures in life, knowing that we can be eco-glam while living in harmony with the planet.
Estoy enamorada….(I’m in love..) Vamos? That’s Spanish for let’s go?
