DreamGreenHomes.com can help you discover a home plan that matches your needs and aesthetics, in a way that will conserve energy and resources.

Ecological Designs
Each design shown here has been chosen because it embodies some significant aspect of sustainable architecture. The designs offered for sale here use natural materials, passive or active solar concepts for heating and cooling, attached solar greenhouses, naturally cooled pantries, or other aspects that contribute to a greener lifestyle. All of the architects and designers represented here are committed to providing detailed house plans that will show everything necessary to successfully bring your dream into reality!

Profiles of Architects and Designers
To find out more about the architects and designers featured here, please see their Profiles. All of the plans that each particular architect or designer has available here are listed along with their profile.

Buying and Altering Plans
Once you have found a plan that interests you, it can be purchased through the links at the bottom of each specific plan. If you find a plan that seems nearly right, but needs some tweaking to make it perfect, most of the architects and designers featured here are quite willing to customize their plans to suit your needs. Once you purchase the generic set of plans presented here, you can communicate directly with the person who designed them for fine tuning. The cost of such subsequent modification varies according to the fee schedule of the particular designer, and is a matter of negotiation between you and him or her. DreamGreenHomes.com is not involved in after-sale modifications.
