Award-Winning Eco-Friendly Architectural Designs

Many people live in an urban area with its modern amenities and lifestyle. Yet, they yearn to be surrounded by nature. “They want a city with eco-friendly designs and natural surroundings,” says Enrico Conti, a green architect whose economy people live in Australia. Having a deep knowledge of green construction and sustainable building materials, he has built energy-efficient properties both in the urban and rural areas of Australia.

An eco-friendly building is not all about having green scenery and decorative plants. The architect should be able to balance urbanization with natural concepts. He should harmonize the ecology and recreate designs with nature.

Interior decorators and architects try as much as possible to fulfill this need creatively. They ensure their design and decorative concepts meet the green and sustainable criteria. The designs are done in a non-superficial way. Most of these designs have won the iF design awards through the years.

Interior decorators and architectural designs using energy-friendly materials to create sustainable buildings. This is also in line with the world’s aim of preventing global warming.

What makes a design worthwhile?

Reinterpret current spaces: Architects can not drastically change the space that already exists. It doesn’t matter if the space is publicly or privately owned. They can only design or redesign with the space given to them. Their job is to make green oases with those spaces. It is up to them to use innovative ways to make new designs. The space available may be very small or very large. The space might also be a place meant for family housing. Playgrounds and recreation centers have different spaces.

Be attuned with nature: The clamor for green oases comes from the need to save the planet. Humans need to adjust their way of life to achieve this. There should be a sustainable link between us and the environment. Interior decorators and architects strive to connect the indoors with the outside environment.
