Building Green: Products from Nature Point, our 2008 Idea Home
Our 2008 Minneapolis-area Idea Home proves that a love of the environment and a love of great style can live under the same roof. Certified as ecofriendly, it's built in a housing development that preserves native wetlands and woodlands.
Recycled countertops
Made by Vetrazzo, the home's counters (except for the kitchen's granite) are made out of repurposed discarded glass from windshields, bottles, traffic lights, stemware and plate glass windows. The material offers a new, energy-saving market for recycled glass and creates unique-looking countertops (510/234-5550; vetrazzo.com).
