Going Green: Kandovan, Iran

The Green Movement may have found its flagship community.  With a nearly zero carbon footprint in construction, this forward looking community has harmonized the human need for shelter and the needs of mother nature.

Welcome to Kandovan, Iran:



Located in the volcanic hills, this community has been around for over 700 years.



Each home is carved into the rock and augmented with traditional windows and doors.



The community was originally founded by refugees from Mongol invation in the 1200's.



This is just proof that you can make any house into a home.  It is what you make of it.

    Good luck with your move. Let me know how the wife likes the new home. I am sure the kids would do well living on a cliff.
