Construisons Demain

Posted in Architecture, Design, Technology by (kb) on November 27, 2007

Construisons demain (French link) premiered at Batimat in Paris earlier this month. This House of the Future, built of wood and covering nearly 200 sq. m., is a project by Eric Wuilmot, one of the architects of “Maison A” (French link) assisted by Domoconsulting for the home automation design.The system showcases low-energy living with three prefabricated wooden modules, resource and energy efficient systems, healthy finish materials, and inviting living spaces. The house was constructed by Construction Millet Bois. The house is not a finished product as such, but more a concept to show what the possibilities are to construct an ecological house that is close to being a passive house (which I find a very interesting idea).

      In my humble opinion, it is not good idea to expose a house to summer (high) sun, and screen low winter sunrays. Windows should be located in south wall. I also recommend using solar panels that move after the sun i.e. http://tinyurl.com/ylpjakb.
      Your house is looking good, but from the air looks better than from the ground. There should be stairways to the roof – you need to cut grass and clean solar panels. :)
