This past Friday, BPM attended a luncheon at the Marrakesh House in Culver City. The Marraskesh House is a Green Demonstration home that was remodeled by filmmaker Chris Paine, who made the documentary, ‘Who Killed the Electric Car’, along with other artists and designers. The house was inspired by Moroccan design and is built to be completely environmentally friendly. The house runs on solar panels and I even walked into one room where the wallpaper was made out of grass! The luncheon was deliciously catered by Akasha, where they served a healthy moroccan inspired menu such as chicken chutney with couscous. KCRW DJ Tom Schnabel provided the lovely tunes for the beautiful sunny Friday at the amazing home overlooking all of Culver City. Green home demonstrations and very short speeches were done by Chris Paine and others. In the end, the Marrakesh house really shows that being green and environmentally friendly is not hard to do and that we can all live in beautiful homes and be good to the earth around us. The Marrakesh home eliminates 75% of potential waste that typical homes that size produces, and really proves to all us that being green is the way to go!
