We propose a house with a powerful image, a minimalist white cube, supported on walls of slate that allow the plot to be terraced. All the rooms open onto terraces and porches that protect from the sun, and in the living room the windows are hidden in the walls to create continuity between the interior and the exterior. Thanks to a central interior patio we have natural light throughout the house and achieve cross-ventilation that refreshes the rooms without the need for energy consumption. Built using traditional brick construction, we reinforced the entire building with double insulation and air chambers, which, combined with the photovoltaic panels installed on the roof and a battery system, allow us to achieve maximum energy efficiency. energy rating, And we managed to reduce the CO2 emissions of this house.
