This project seeks to create a structure that not only restores the appeal of home life, but also repays the original investment with self-produced energy. We have therefore focused our research on creating a 100m² house with zero CO2 emissions, thanks to an architecturally integrated photovoltaic system, special solar panel surfaces for capturing energy during the winter, optimum interior air circulation for the summer months and all the other passive strategies required to turn the building into a bioclimatic machine. Low construction costs have also been achieved by using a light, flexible form of prefabrication, including structural elements, technical systems and mobile components such as sliding, removable and bendable wall panels/partitions. For the exteriors, on the other hand, wall unit or single panel cladding systems built of interchangeable components have been adopted in order to vary the external look of the property and ensure it is consistent with the design inside (balconies etc.).
All this in a non-invasive framework that constitutes the basis of a cluster-based scheme of single-family houses. And the end result? A modular home that gives different projects, lifestyles and dreams the freedom to come true.
