This makes the building green in every sense &#8211; visually and in its carbon footprint. The outer copper shell is highly sustainable because copper happens to be a material with longest life and lowest environmental impact.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/design.fr\/architecture\/a-copper-house-bruneel-residence-by-travis-price-architects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"cursor: default;float: none;margin: 0px\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/hometone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/house_made_of_copper_travis_price_exterior_11_600x391_xqr23.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>At first glance, the building looks like two huge rising walls, twin peaks separated by multiple bridges in glass.
