The Green Design 100
Call it responsibility or accountability. Or simple popular demand. The rarefied world of design is embracing the environment as never before. Top architects are implementing revolutionary methods. Fashion and furniture mainstays are manufacturing products using sustainable materials. And luxury empires are establishing credos on issues their customers are still waking up to. Behind the scenes, trailblazing executives are taking big risks to make it all happen — beautifully.
Verdura Golf & Spa Resort Sicily
The newest addition to hotelier Rocco Forte's expanding empire, Verdura — opening in May — sits on 1.2 miles of coastline and has all the trappings of a five-star resort. But unlike most luxe havens, Verdura uses solar panels to generate hot water and electricity and double-glazed windows to conserve energy, and it has banned cars from the grounds, opting instead for electric buggies.
