Houses Natural/ Natural Houses
A seductive, stylish, compelling, and authoritative assembly of vanguard small-scale houses that tread very lightly in nature, leading the way for architects, homeowners, and dreamers to rethink ways we can live, reside, and flourish. Architects have sought more and more to integrate residences into their settings minimally disturbing nature, with houses that float on the water or up in the trees.This book reveals 51 designs that bring their residences into nature, even allowing the natural setting to enter the very walls, with priority given to sustainability and carbon footprint.Each of the book’s homes is carefully chosen for its innovative and seductive design, approachable scale, and stunning location, whether cocooned within the earth itself or soaring high amongst the treetops, surrounded by cooling waters, or resisting the desert heat. Considerations of energy consumption can dictate a green roof in some cases, while blending ever more fully into the environment gives the satisfaction of not existing in contradiction with the world, a kind of escape to the original garden, or more precisely, a return to fundamental, incontrovertible values. The book’s collection spans the globe—from a remote bay on Bruny Island (Tasmania) to an isolated beach in Nicaragua or cabin perched above a fjord in Norway.Today’s architectural vanguard is represented, as well as established firms working at the forefront of twenty-first-century design, such as Tom Kundig of the Seattle practice Olson Kundig and Snøhetta from Oslo.With a wealth of photographs showcasing each house inside and out, plus plans, Houses Natural/Natural Houses offers inspiration—and tranquility.

Are passive houses and energy-efficient houses the same thing?
Passive houses and energy-efficient houses are not the same thing, although they share some similarities. Passive houses are a specific type of energy-efficient house that meets rigorous standards for energy performance, comfort, and air quality. They achieve this through a combination of high levels of insulation, airtight construction, high-performance windows, and a mechanical ventilation system. Energy-efficient houses, on the other hand, can encompass a broader range of building practices and technologies that reduce energy consumption, such as efficient appliances, lighting, and heating/cooling systems. While passive houses are a subset of energy-efficient houses, not all energy-efficient houses meet the strict criteria for passive house certification.

Additionally, the uniformity in design helps create a cohesive and visually appealing streetscape. This consistency in architecture also reflects the Dutch culture's emphasis on practicality, simplicity, and community harmony.
