Owner approach of sustainability

Environmental considerations: BioClimatic design, for the best use of solar and wind in the area, that to incorporate natural light and ventilation to the spaces. – Sloping roof to promote rainwater harvesting. – Building on stilts, this to maintain the permeability of the soil and protect against insects, in addition to reducing moisture and facilitate electromechanical maintenance. – Differential treatment of facades in the orientation function. – Provision of sun protection systems, with protection elements in front Northwest. – Low emission of CO2 in relation to the transport of source materials for suppliers to work, covering a radius no more than 25km – Low consumption of water when pouring concrete in place only at the stage of foundation (piling). – Reduction of waste by designing prefabricated systems modulated elements. – Modular construction system with micro-concrete panels Habicon construction system, designed by the Center for Research in Housing and Construction (CIVCO), the Technological Institute of Costa Rica, (ITCR)

Architectural description

We can mention, the free plan saves a relationship between social spaces, mixing house-study with transitory spaces area, the natural light and ventilation are introduce from the back yard, this project encourages constructively concepts and self-construction, promoting a sense of belonging to users building their own space.
