What do Green Real Estate and Eco-Gastronomy have in common?
The SSSLOW movements...Slow Homes, Slow Food are all about health, economy, environment, taste and how our choices affect the rest of the world. Modern Designers are reviving passion for good design principles to expand our vision in order to resist cookie cutter homes, standardized big box shopping malls and urban sprawl. The sustainable approach in all of that is to create our homes as a commodity for real estate that is long lasting, in terms of respect for the use of materials and the environment, and waste prevention.
