I was so thrilled to see Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady’s home featured in a recent Architectural Digest story. It showed off their commitment to being green and I was pretty impressed! From simply unplugging their appliances when they aren’t in use all the way to a grey water system they use for watering the lawn, Gisele and Tom have truly embraced a sustainable lifestyle. Their Los Angeles home is also absolutely gorgeous, featuring a moat stocked with koi, a kitchen that would be any cook’s dream and a walk-in closet made for a princess. Check out a few highlights from Giselle’s interview below and for the full article, click here.
Green Living: Inside Gisele and Tom’s Eco-Friendly Home
- On choosing green materials for the home: “We were happy to find that we could use a lot of existing resources. In the end, 90 percent of the materials used to construct our house were reclaimed.”
- On energy efficiency inside the home: “The design of the house allows for as much natural light as possible.”
- On water consumption: “We’re very conscious about the water consumption in our home, and we teach our kids the same.”
- On reusing wastewater: “Our gray-water system allows us to reuse the wastewater for our garden and lawn.”
- On growing their own garden: “We grow 85 percent of our fruits and vegetables.”
