Stunning Hawaiian Residence Features Cyclone of Reclaimed Wood

The outdoor area has been landscaped with lava rock and native plants.

This beautiful house in Kona, on the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/2010/06/28/stunning-zero-plus-energy-lab-at-hawaii-preparatory-academy/" target="_blank">big island of Hawaii</a>, is definitely a luxury residence. But on top of being a stunning architectural design, it's actually quite green! The Kona Residence has been designed by Belzberg Architects, and is an incredible collection of reclaimed materials and energy efficient applications. Featuring <a href="http://www.inhabitat.com/2009/10/16/illinois-gable-house-is-solar-decathlon-runner-up/" target="_blank">reclaimed barn wood</a>, a set of train tracks fashioned on the outside of the house, and a <a href="../solar-power" target="_blank">solar power system</a> complimented with rainwater collection, we think we've just found our eco-paradise!

Reclaimed train tracks and teak from old barns has been used extensively throughout the house.

The lap pool has been lined with dark lava rocks to passively heat the water.

The eco residence features six bedrooms and various other luxurious rooms built off a central corridor.

Sliding doors and windows open the interior up to the natural breezes, and are central to keeping the interior comfortable.

The home also features two photovoltaic arrays and rainwater collection system.
