WHAT IF YOU ESTABLISHED A FEW RULES FOR THE DESIGN OF YOUR NEW HOUSE?
RULES LIKE:
YOU’LL ONLY BE USING “OFF THE SHELF,“ ENVIRONMENTALLY EFFICIENT AND RESPONSIBLE BUILDING COMPONENTS
THE PROJECT WILL ADHERE TO A MINIMAL “FOOTPRINT,” AND FOLLOW A MINIMALIST DESIGN BRIEF
PASSIVE HAUS, AN ULTRA-LOW ENERGY BUILDING STANDARD, ACHIEVES MAXIMUM THERMAL COMFORT WHILE CUTTING ENERGY USE BY UP TO 90%
PRIORITIZE SIMPLER BUILDING SHAPES BASED ON INDUSTRY STANDARD SIZES, WHICH PRODUCES LESS WASTE
LOOK FOR URBAN “INFILL“ SITES, WHICH ALREADY INCLUDE THE ESSENTIAL INFRASTURCTURE (UTILITIES, ROADS, SERVICE AMENITIES)
FEWER & SIMILAR MATERIALS, OPEN FLOOR PLANNING, CONSERVATION, SUSTAINABLE DESIGN ALL COST LESS
