The notion of luxury changes over time. What once seemed chic may now seem fussy and excessive. This volume defines luxury living with a conscience. High end doesn’t have to mean high impact. We’re invited to explore just how stylish ecological living can be. These magnificent abodes not only provide comfort and beauty but also protect the planet. Such deluxe dwellings combine renewable resources, energy-efficient technology and recycled materials. Top level architects and designers carefully screen every element for glamour and for environmental impact. After all, true luxury demands attention to detail!
