Abstract: Over time, the need for shelter, called housing, has been a challenge for mankind. Hence housing techniques have been developed and advanced from ancient ways of using mud materials and other earth with good building properties that could be applied by the builder, civil engineer or architect. However, the question remains unanswered if mud housing, wooden housing and open glass buildings are architectural masterpieces for green buildings or simply views of sustainable real estate? This study looks at different newer related designs that have been considered, applied and successfully utilised in the built industry. Some key qualities of the building materials used are also identified and presented. Recommendations were made towards the frontiers in achieving green buildings globally for sustainable real estate.
