Early this week, I attended an event at US Embassy in Surabaya. They explained that they implemented sustainability in their building by using fluorescent lights and tinted glass to cut 70% of UV rays. Therefore, I would like to share some sustainable design that are not just pretty but also eco friendly:
1. Orchid House - UK
Brad Pitt and Kylie Minogue interested to buy this place.

2. Dome House - Japan
Their superior characteristic are:
- The Antioxidant method of healthy building construction
- Ultra-thermal insulating properties that enable energy savings
- The world's highest earthquake resistant
- Ultra low cost
- Ultra- short assembly time (weighs only 80 Kg, if performed by 3 or 4 people, it takes approximately 7 days to complete a Dome House.)
and many more

5. Green School - Bali, Indonesia
"The remarkable campus of buildings is constructed completely from sustainably-harvested bamboo and is powered by renewable energy systems" (B. Meinhold,2014)
This school won The Greenest School on Earth in 2012 by the USGBC Center for Green Schools.
