Sonerva Kiri is a luxury resort in Thailand, which has created a complete zero emissions, eco-friendly village for guests to experience. The villa is entirely made of local building materials and outside the network. The Sonerva Kiri Eco Villa looks a bit like a cave with its green roof and walls with natural ventilation. The floor is compacted and the furniture inside within the Eco Villa is made of driftwood in the ocean. This Sonerva Kiri Eco Villa is quite surprising, is not only good for the world, but it's pretty awesome too. References: stuff.co.nz and bornrich.org

Brazil The Leaf House
The natural tendency is emerging organic and is infiltrating into all modes of life, in this case, an entire house. The Leaf House, located on a beach in , Brazil, consists of a roof that appears to be a large sheet, the shadow that protects the indoors of the house of the sun, while wind trade winds that pass through the opening frame. This construction provides natural ventilation, while providing passive cooling.
The design of architects Mareines +Patalano has tried to improve the relationship between man and nature to work in harmony while creating a home, hallways, and make the outdoors and looks like one.
The rainwater is reused and recycled, and much of the house is built with local materials. Truly an eco wonder. References: mareines-patalano.br and worldarchitecturenews.
