Did you know that in the 18th century, England had a tax system based on the number of windows in a house?⠀ ⠀
With Passive House design principles today, windows will not be as TAXING as the ones back then - they can take advantage of passive solar heat and reduce your home's overall carbon footprint while framing the perfect view! ⠀

Hi havia una vegada...
Quatre parelles d’amics es van unir en un projecte comú per construir un edifici de cinc habitatges amb espais d’ús comunitari. El pati d’accés com a vestíbul obert i la piscina a coberta conviden a compartir activitats entre els usuaris. La combinació de materials com la fusta, el totxo i el formigó donen la textura, tonalitat i calidesa als diferents àmbits. El sistema de persianes de fusta, plegables i orientables, que tanquen terrasses i permeten tamisar la llum solar, contribueix a millorar el confort tèrmic, alhora que genera una relació de buits i plens dinàmica a les façanes testeres. L’edifici, amb classificació energètica A, incorpora també altres sistemes passius en el seu disseny i un sistema d’energia renovable que permet reduir considerablement el consum energètic.

We’re thrilled to announce a fantastic keynote s

We’re thrilled to announce a fantastic keynote speaker for our conference, buildingsciencefightclub! Williamson teaches building science and construction to architects, developers, contractors, and other professionals in the building industry.

She began her career working for architect Chris Benedict in New York City where she performed blower door tests on gut-rehabs in Harlem and Washington Heights and assisted in the design of one of the first multi-family Passive Houses in the United States. She’s also used her talents working for the Building Science Corporation, where she reviewed drawings and makes recommendations that promote appropriate water control, air control, energy efficiency, constructability, and durability.
Williamson is Chair of ASHRAE Technical Committee 1.12, Moisture Management in Buildings, and is a member of the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association (NESEA). #humidclimateconference #buildingscience #buildingsciencefightclub #architecture #passivehouse #passivehousedesign

The least we can say about this house, it's that the shape of it is really original and kind of fun. The roofs are made of timber structure and coverted of planks to result in this parametrical silhouette, that I think really gives an organical, soft and respectfull shape for the surroundings.⠀
Last but not least, the super high ceilling probably helps to perform a great ventilation during the super hot summer days of Japan.⠀
