If you are asking ways in which we can blend our homes to the environment to minimize the environmental impact then you can look at ways to make your home energy efficient (use advanced framing techniques and insulation), improve your indoor air quality (use low-pile or less allergen-attracting carpet, and improve ventilation), improve your water quality by minimizing waste (use rainwater collected from the roof to water plants) and conserve natural resources. Additionally look to improve your waste management skills for instance use natural landfill from food scraps. Although costly use can use renewable resources such as wind or solar energy to power certain aspects of your home.
If you are asking ways to adapt your home to a specific environment then consider ideas such as building noise barriers if your home is located near a noisy area, removal of mosquito breeding areas by eliminating stagnate water, using solar cells if your home is the sunlight most of the day to store and use electricity. Build enclosures or barriers to prevent wildlife to enter your property.
Hope this helps.
