A new suburb will be built in an area where there are perhaps already a few established properties owned by English-speaking tourists. That new town would like to include some eco houses for potential newcomers to the prestigious area.
An ecologically friendly house is one that is not harmful to the environment and that reduces wasteful energy use.
You have to discuss the features that you would like to see in an eco house that would be suitable for a family of four. You also have to design an eco-house and decide upon the best way of presenting your design for the eco house. The winning design will be built on a prestigious new development in your city.
Furthermore, the houses will be sold with the help of estate agents. You will have to design a brochure for the eco-house to help him sell the house. The estate agent will want to get the best price for his client, especially as this also directly affects the fee that he will receive!
