STRUCTURE
Regarding
the building structure, functional rooms are located between open spaces: large
curved corridor, garden, courtyard and atrium are arranged flexibly. Open
terrace spaces are covered by a thatch roof and edged by trees. The whole
building structure considers human measurements.
CONSIDERING
FOLK ARCHITECTURE
Based on
traditional experiences, the interaction between the inside and the outside
within spacious architecture plays an important role. The lamellar solar
protection is made out of wood and appears vertical along the corridor.
Together with the roof, it creates a curved surface. Besides, the natural grey
color of the thatch roof melts together with the garden.
CONVENIENCE
BY CLIMATE AND ENERGY
All
the functional spaces are covered by a thatch roof and wood lamellae. Walls are
made of unburned bricks including an ecological insulation. Every room has at
least two sides interacting with the nature which creates a comfortable and
fresh indoor climate.
A
smart electronic system regulates all the electronical devices depending on the
personal needs in a ecological, economical and efficient way. Solar panels
producing 7Kw electricity are located on the top of the roof and reduce
consumption by cable transferred electricity. A 370m² big water tank collects
rainwater which is enough to water plants in the garden. Furthermore, the roof
made of thatch also regulates the indoor climate.
