World's Greenest Homes on DVD
John Bell hosts this program and brings the viewer along on visits to amazing homes that have been built with a sustainable future in mind. His conversations with the home owners draw us through a range of amazing choices and the program sets out to provide inspiration rather than any "how to..." approach.
"The viewer is taken deep inside the most stunning eco-friendly dwellings on the planet while watching World's Greenest Homes. Host John Bell guides this whirlwind global tour of breathtaking planet-friendly residences while introducing viewers to the cutting-edge innovations that make these eco-palaces as green as they are glam," is the way it's officially sold, and that's an accurate description of the program. There is a touch of irony in so much as there is a lot of 'glam' - and expensive. The homes are large a lot of the time, and that is not to say they are bad - big is good - in one case the home sprawls through the arid countryside it dwells on, providing more a village than an individual dwelling. Brilliant.
There are sleek of glass and steel and elaborate mansions made from pressed earth and recycled blue jeans, these one-of-a-kind houses are like nothing you've ever seen before.
Each episode highlights two residences in all-access explorations that show off these homes' style and decor, architectural boldness, and the visionary green secrets behind it all, but don't expect too much detail. Like I said, it's great material for inspiration and well worth a look for that reason alone. There are some fantastic ideas put to play that are really useful to see in the real world if you are thinking of building or converting your own home.
Designers and builders will really find the most to engage them along with those of us who simply find the experience of looking through modern homes really interesting.
World's Greenest Homes proves that luxury and ecology can, and do, exist under the same roof. Tune in to this feast for the eyes and discover how comfortable and elegant green can be.
Join host John Bell for a tour of the most sustainable yet luxurious homes around the globe. A celebrated carpenter with an interest in architecture, John takes you on a whirlwind tour of the most eco-fabulous homes. Find out what makes these high-concept homes tick, from renewable energy to high-concept green designs.
Available on DVD in Australia.
