Even if the STRUCTURE had zero impact, the flooring alone probably has more impact than a typical entire house, by a wide margin. Or the electrical systems. Or the mechanical systems. A house that big needs a massive amount of stuff, and sustainability advances can only improve it so much.
If this guy wants to get in as a sustainable materials source, he just screwed himself up big time. |

Finally, the size of the house wasn't done to be green or appease them; the article states that he liked the classic French and English country mansions and modeled this after those. That indicates to me he did the size and aesthetics for purely personal reasons. |
