Eco house in the Muskoka Lakes area of northern Ontario is the perfect
peaceful getaway with style to boot! Designed by Canadian architects
Altius Architecture, the 3,200-sq.-ft. stone house blends beautifully
with the rocky Canadian Shield backdrop.
And in the foreground, this
lake house boasts breathtaking views in every direction. Inside, the
home’s natural wood floors and ceilings are warm and homey, exuding
quality and timeless style.
Floor-to-ceiling glass walls frame the
pristine panoramas. A central “void” serves as an anchor for the various
living areas that radiate off it, and passively circulates light and
air.
On that note, this eco house operates off the grid, thanks to
elements like its orientation to naturally heat and cool the home, solar
hot water and photovoltaic solar panels, as well as the incorporation
of clean-burning fireplaces, concrete walls and a high-performance
envelope, thermal glass, and a green roof that helps keep it cool during
the hot months and insulated during the harsh winters.

That's without doubt the nicest eco house I have ever seen. Solar Power systems may seem like the new kid on the block but the reality is they have been around for over 70 years.
There are solar panels in the Sahara Desert that have been running continually for 27 years in sandstorms and blazing heat, others that have been in space for over 50 years and going from -160 to +200 degrees C every 90 minutes!
