ZedEarth launches CasablancaCasablanca. The name evokes memories of a romantic era post-World War. It also evokes enchanting images of white homes (Casa blanca in Spanish) that stand out against the lush green of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. ZedEarth offers a specially crafted cluster of 30 homes. All of them painted the timeless azure and albeido that marks the Qasbah anywhere in the Arab world right down to the sunbaked cities of Balmer and Jaisalmer. ZedCasablanca homes offer options at 3- and 4-bedrooms. They are sun-filled, expansive, sunlit, cool on the interior, elegant on colours and tones, and leafy in natural decor. These spaces are great for asthmatics (pollen-free air), and curative for arthritics and rheumatoids (with floors that are warm to touch, and free of vitrified tiles). Says Sanjay Ramanujam, "These offer healthy living spaces with systems that make CasablancaHomes affordable; secure on energy and water for the long term with grid freedom for both water and waste; and sophisticated yet rugged systems that make for great living."
