Go Green Baby!
The Inner Banks has an incredible and diverse eco system. From its fresh water creeks and the brackish waters created from where they converge with the salty ocean of the Atlantic, the area is home to vast numbers of flora and fauna. This combination of nature wonder makes the Inner Banks a very special place to visit and live.
Because of the attractive Inner Banks lifestyle, new communities are always in development. And with new communites come new homes. And so, we thought we would introduce some building ideas that marry the exclusiveness of coastal community living with green and sustainable home design... we like the idea of keeping the Inner Banks beautiful.
Here are some links to eco home websites that we found when searching the web.
Enjoy the browse!
