Here in the Hamptons, we are feeling the same excitement and the forefront of Hamptons green living is a house in Springs called Project GreenHouse. The house has quite a story. It was designed by Edvin Karl Stromsten, an architect who decided to build a completely sustainable and environmentally friendly house as a personal experiment. He mortgaged his Manhattan co-op and began building on a one-acre piece of property that he bought eight years ago for $75,000 on Copeces Lane in East Hampton.
The house is a three-bedroom, two-bath masterpiece. Everything from the furnishings to the heating systems, to even the guy that is living in it, is completely sustainable. The goal of the house is to keep it from having any "footprint" on the earth. The house has a geothermal heating system, as well as solar paneling and luxurious furnishings, some that are made from recycled seatbelts.
