With a wider array of products than
ever, designers are combining the
principles of reduce, reuse and recycle
to design inspirational, energy- and
water-efcient spaces that serve the
client and protect the planet.
G
reen once meant clunky low-fow toilets, dishwashers with "Eco" settings and
any synthetic material that didn't mill a tree or mine a stone. Now, a universe
of products, and strategies honed by years of experience, have positioned
kitchen and bath designers to create rooms every bit as luxurious as their conven-
tional counterparts, but with lighter footprints, a reliance on renewable resources
and reusing/repurposing in surprising places.
This month, Kitchen & Bath Design News presents a portfolio of innovative projects
from designers leading the way in sustainable design.
