'Green design alongside many other positive things are taken advantage of then used for selfish gain. Attempted positive eco-design can end up causing more damage than non-green design by shipping said earth friendly products half way around the world therefore using unnecessary fossil fuels. My design, the Sandhome, incorporates the local materials and landscape of the chosen lot to create a beautiful, efficient, and unique dwelling that fits in an area instead of fitting the area to it. The basic structure is made of standard shipping containers from the large ports of San Francisco, and the colors match its surroundings such as the golden gate bridge. Large “sails” combine solar panels with large surface areas of gated wind paths filtering to a bi-directional wind turbine. If you cannot grow old in a home, then it is only friendly to the earth; we cannot forget about the sole purpose of providing shelter. Universal Design was employed throughout the home to ensure the residents could live in harmony with their home throughout their live, no matter what it may bring. Lots of earth tones and recycled woods make the home one with nature, so you never forget what the underlying message is.
