The
plan is a family house situated in El Escorial, near Madrid;
it synthesizes the studies carried out in recent years on
sustainable architecture and makes an example of it. The plan
aims to insert harmonically the structure into the land and
adapt to the weather conditions answering with every facade
the specific situation given by the orientation and the land
conformation. The planning of external spaces aims to reduce
the impermeabilization of the land by paving only the necessary
paths with pine wooden plates. The building is constructed
with a selection of materials carefully chosen for their own
low-environmental impact qualities and for their specific
thermal behavior. The structure
is based on certified wood; the external closings are
constructed with blocks of termic clay. |
