Natural Houses

The best of sustainable interior design under the banner of respectful relationship with the environmental context.

The green nature house stands in harmony with the environmental context, fitting into the delicate ecosystem that welcomes it in a respectful and non-invasive way, thinking of itself as a single organism in which all the elements exploit mutual synergies in order to minimize the environmental impact, responding to the needs of those who live there. The eco-friendly characters are realized in the choice of natural materials, in the control of solar radiation, in the particular dosage of natural light in the interior spaces and in the virtuous use of artificial light, in the careful management of water resources and fuels, in the use of renewable energy, in the reduced CO2 emissions.

Through a selection of strong character houses from around the world, the new Interior Cube Design series aims to be a comprehensive and tasty survey of interior design styles to guide the reader through the categories, languages and trends of contemporary living.

Original even in their format, cubic, the monographs that make up the series are immediately recognizable by their color, which refers to a style. Respectively red, green, and gray, the first three volumes are devoted to the dream, natural, and brutalist styles, respectively.
