Luxury Living Goes Green: Eco-Friendly Homes Are The Future Of Sustainable Living

Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic has loosened its grip over the world, many things have changed in our lives – How we work, how we eat, how we live, all these aspects are no longer the same anymore. People are now adopting healthy lifestyles and flexible working trends to sustain themselves in the “New Normal” era. Almost every sector in the business world has been trying to cope up with these new changes and real estate is no different.

If you take the Indian realty sector into account, it has never been this diverse, offering sky condos, green villas, and smart homes with more and more architects and developers focusing on eco-friendly projects to attract younger investors and second homeowners. Even the concept of luxury housing has also changed with the inception of cutting-edge eco-friendly technologies.

Earlier, luxury homes were associated with excess and extravagance. However, now, builders are making luxury homes more environmentally responsible by using sustainable and eco-friendly materials to embrace the trend of green real estate. 

How Luxury Housing In India Taking Eco Route

Environmental challenges such as climate change, pollution, and natural resource depletion have raised the demand for eco-friendly homes. Modern buyers are now trying to decrease their carbon footprint and live in more sustainable and healthier environments.

Check out the 4 key parameters wherein, sustainable architecture is being integrated into luxury housing: 

  • Energy Efficient

Today, the modern homebuyers are much aware of the impact of their purchasing decisions on the environment, and therefore, they are preferring those luxury homes that are more aligned with their values. People,nowadays, want energy-efficient houses that significantly reduce their electricity bills and also be more affordable to maintain and can appeal to buyers looking to save money in the long-run.

Developers have also responded to this demand by building luxury homes incorporating sustainable and energy efficient materials.

  • Environment-Friendly Construction Material 

One of the most significant factors to consider while building an eco-friendly home or green building is the type of material used. For this, you can choose from a variety of materials such as recycled materials, sustainable materials, and natural materials. Each of these materials has distinct advantages and may be combined in a variety of ways to create a beautiful yet environmentally sustainable house.

When it comes to recycled materials, anything from reclaimed wood and metal to recycled glasses and plastics can be used for the construction of a building. It is an excellent option for buyers who wish to limit their environmental footprint while keeping a high level of luxury. 

On the other hand, natural materials include anything from stone, clay and straw.

  • Habitat Efficiency

Using recycled and natural materials not only make your luxurious home sustainable but also increases its external appeal. Wall gardens, terrace gardens, green pathways, all these things are increasingly incorporated in the premium buildings to enhance the green cover and appeal of the property. 

  • Water Efficiency 

Water is one of the most precious gifts of nature and to maintain the efficiency of this valuable source today’s ultra-modern luxurious homes are embracing rainwater harvesting systems. In this process, water from showers, baths, basins, water purifiers and washing machines, which forms almost 75% of freshwater utilization in a household, is recycled.

As a result, that water can be reused for gardens and vehicle washes. Use of new design shower heads for lower water consumption, self-closing taps, and low-flush toilets are all included to better manage water use. A combination of these systems is increasingly installed to reduce water consumption by over 50%.

Conclusion 

Building an eco-friendly luxury home provides numerous benefits. Eco-friendly materials and design elements reduce exposure to harmful chemicals and pollutants. This can have a positive impact on the health and overall well-being of occupants, which is especially important for luxury homeowners who value comfort and luxury.
