Tree Houses Are Not Just for Kids

Today’s trend is to behave as much eco-friendly as you can. Recycle everything what is recyclable, produce less waste, save energy, build your houses in a sustainable way – live in harmony with nature.

These tree houses supported by metal piles are a great example of low-energy solutions, compost system and low water use taps and showers.

Bower House Construction uses computer technology for “printing off” the site all of the tree house’s components. This technology reduces construction waste and does not disrupt the surrounding natural eco-system.

Metal piles are screwed into the ground with a hydraulic power pack so that it causes a minimal impact around sensitive zones and it can be completely removed whenever there is a need.

Every house is insulated with sheep’s wool or recycled cellulose providing a comfortable temperature inside the house. There are compost toilets, low water flow taps and showers. Recycled and recyclable materials are used throughout the interior so you feel like surrounded by nature. Maybe these houses are not for everyone but it definitely looks cool and tries to use eco-friendly systems to protect the environment.

Green Campus – Steve Jobs’ Last Wish for Apple

Before his death in 2011, Steve Jobs announced that Apple wants to build a massive and green campus in Cupertino City California. The construction project has been put off many times but Apple‘s CEO Tim Cook has told that the complex will be finished in 2016.

The sketches of the space-like building look simply astonishing. The Apple campus has been said to become one of the world’s largest corporate campuses and the world’s greenest building. 100 percent of the facilities will utilize renewable energy and just like Coca-Cola in developing countries, Apple will also use solar power in its construction.

The 260,000 square meter campus will accommodate harshly 14,000 employees who will have the possibility to utilize offices, fitness facilities, auditoriums and cafeterias inside the complex. For enabling such facilities the budget of the project has been raised to over five billion US dollars.

Designed by Foster and Partners, Apple‘s campus will be naturally ventilated meaning that air-conditioning and heating is needed only during 25 percent of a one-year period. The natural appearance will be generated 7000 surrounding trees..

Shanghai Metal Corporation is also specialist in construction projects that are sustainable and environmentally friendly. We also execute prefabricated construction projects and build homes, hotels, villas and offices out of shipping containers.
