company Architecture W. A lot of original materials was used in the
reconstruction but the second story was add and numerous interior walls
removed to create an open floor plan that draws natural light deeper into
the house and maximizes cross-ventilation. The renovated house utilizes
a thermal solar heating system that provides hot water and warms
the radiant floor, using a set of roof-mounted tubes rather than the more
common flat panels.
Besides solar system the roof is partly covered with plants and,
on the lower portion of the roof, a vegetable garden and small
seating area are located.
The house is insulated with recycled denim jeans and equipped
with heat extractors that capture energy from the showers
and faucets.
