I propose a prototype with no specific location adapted to the following principles:
  • Design of high density housing as a more sustainable response.
  • Provide a basic structure and a network of fluid channels developed vertically that allows the adaptation of living spaces to the size or possibilities of the family, with the least environmental impact.
  • Assign an area on two floors to each house so that it adapts to the family growth giving it a relative flexibility.
  • Integrate a generous area of green zone to each house.
  • Make solar passive uptake a fundamental point of design.
The building will be built with prefabricated timber panel system with highly insulated flat roofs.
In each area (plot) assigned to each house different occupancy programs can be arranged depending on the family composition and its growth. They can grow as the family grows.
Even in the case of greater occupation there will be an outer space that will be an open green space or closed as a greenhouse that will function as a passive energy collector.
The facades open up to the surrounding landscape with generous amounts of glazing and green roof terraces.

The house connects family members in public spaces such as the dining-room and living area, but equally, allows each member to exist as an individual left to his or her own interests and activities.
