Every day it comes more evident, that our planet is being exposed to negative human impacts. Environment is changing for the worse and the first thing reflecting this fact is climate change.
Today Eco-Dwelling offers you accommodation of a new age which is auspicious both for human and environment. Such ecologically friendly house is built in accordance with several principles:
1) Location of eco-houses in green zones;
2) Implementation of vertical planting technologies;
3) Space flexibility inside the building;
4) Use of renewable energy alternatives (solar-, wind-, stream-power)
5) Special building materials which contain low-impact organic compounds and could be successfully recycled.
Eco-Dwelling is intended for one, two or more families on demand. Eco-house’s living space is not too large - it is efficient, relied on flexible design and multiple uses within the same place. Nevertheless the room will satisfy all the requirements of a family.
A new “Eco-Dwelling” trend which will help to overcome the shortage of green zones in urban areas is vertical greening. This means that walls, roofs, balconies will be fully or partially covered with plants. Vertical greening much differs from traditional gardening; it is presented by specially designed plant installations that cling to and curve around structures. Moreover plants grow on or into the building’s construction - organic substances are inserted up and down the walls, ceiling and other surfaces. The system will contain all required devices to irrigate, drainage and provide optimum growing habitat.
