DESIGNING SUSTAINABILITY IN THE DESERT

We are excited to announce the launch of Net Zero ICONIC Home, a year-long conversation about Living Beautifully and sustainably in a zero-energy home. We’ve partnered with ICONIC Life to take you on a journey of Inspiration, Education and Motivation around sustainable design and living, and we’re giving you a front-row seat each month to see the progress and what it takes to develop a net-zero home. Stay tuned for content, social media coverage, videos and special events as we bring this home to life.

WHAT IS A NET ZERO HOME?

A net-zero home is a lot like an elegant custom home…only better…better for the residents, better for the environment, better for the planet. A net-zero home is so airtight, well insulated and energy efficient that it produces as much renewable energy as it consumes annually. Plus, design decisions made inside allow for temperature management with minimal energy, water conservation, air purification, healthy natural light exposure and sustainable, natural, healthy interiors and products in the home.
