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.
