Sustainable Modern Glass House and Timber in Spain this amazing modern glass house designed by XPIRAL Architecture sits high on a mountain in El Esparragal, Murcia, Spain, nestled among the pines for which it’s named. With sustainable design accounted for, the architects too took a modern, fashion-forward approach to the unique modern home design, topping it with a futuristic roof which folds over to conceal the home’s expansive windows. Enclosed in walls of glass, an modern interior design grassy courtyard allows nature to permeate the design. Natural light floods interiors, illuminating modern, industrial details like exposed beams, concrete and the contemporary framed windows.

The Modern Green Home Retreat: Small and Simple Design – NYT has tigerwood flooring certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, a water-conserving toilet, and an on-demand water heater. Modern Green Home Retreat Greener, Happier. Architects Paul McKean and Amy Donohue tackled The Complexities of Keeping It Small and Simple when they built a weekend home design outside Portland, Oregon in the Hood River Valley. The Modern Green Home Retreat: Small and Simple Design itself had been on the market for three years and included a creek requiring a 100-foot buffer zone. The couple faced many obstacles (including a floodplain and deed restrictions on small homes) but still managed to build a modern, green home. A KEY concept for the Modern Green Home Retreat at Small and Simple Design was “to literally have no footprint,” Ms. Donohue said. The roof is engineered to sustain plants and soil to absorb rainwater. NYT.
