I do not understand the human compulsion to build their homes higher and higher from the ground. Semi-underground homes provide natural thermal insolation making houses both colder in summer and warmer in winter. It is estimated that such housing could save energy in all season for up to an aditional 40%. Add a semi-dome design and you can split your construction cost in half!
Its time to stop building these 2000 year old sqare-edged boxes and start planning for the future!
Well hopefully in light of the intelligent critisisms (too numerous to list) you have realised that you are not much more than a fool. Please remove the "green" discription from the title if you really care about good young minds embracing ESD, because to the newcomer, you are making all of us look like fools.
Ridiculous "cookie cutter" post modernist-designed imposition on us. Have you not had enough time to learn what we wrote about in 1981 through Passive/Hybrid architecture that respects its location, weather, site? Can I impose your "vision" design in New York (where your firm is) as well as in Arizona or Florida? What does your bioclimatic chart look like?
This kind of crap is what Arthur Bowen (founder of P.L.E.A.) fought so hard against but I see it was all in vain.
@VMKinnovations - I'll say the same thing to you as I did Vertigon. It's a design study on a virtual site!! So, there is no respect to weather, location, or site. It's an example of a potential design. And there is nothing "cookie cutter" about this building - you obviously never studied actual architecture. And if you have, I dare you to post your design online for critique. It seems you like to just hear yourself talk (or type in this case)..... think about it.
@VMKinnovations and yes Bowen was a progessive individual along with his organization. No, I did not know of him until now. But it seems most of these concepts have been inherent in architecture for hundreds / thousands of years and he was just raising awareness (which is great). We did get away from passive solar and cooling techniques once the emergence of air conditioning (and potential global domination of the moden oil companies) came on the scene in mid 20th century. In this design
cont'd .... for example .. the solid wall/roof components would be facing solar south utilizing PV and solar thermal. the glass would face east/west and promote cross ventilation. - If the glass was facing north/south. Metal canopy shaders (which is modeled on front-just hard to see) would reduce solar heat gain in summer and let the sun penetrate in winter. Concrete thermal mass floor would help in maintaining a higher ambient temperature in winter. All in conjunction with geo-thermal
From this animation it's obvious you don't know how to do a topographical study, a solar study or any other type of study. It looks like something a child who's learning a 3D program would come up with to look "cool". Oh and rethink your "loft". Theres nothing there to stop people falling down to the bottom floor. Stop putting thoughtless designs like this on youtube, you give the green movement a bad name.
@VertigonA380 oh- and the loft issue. Don't be stupid. - Obviously there would be a rail. If I had the time I would model every little thing - topo, shaders, solar analysis, PV, mechanical equip., and yes even interior railing. - So I don't have to bother with people like you. Your another one that likes the sound of their voice..
You have glass on opposing planes, so even if the glass on one plane was optimised for solar glass, the glass on the shadow plane would be drawing the heat out, if you knew the first thing about thermodynamics you'd know cool elements draw heat from warmer elements. As for it's active systems-where are they? I don't see any, no heating or cooling appliances, no roof penetrations no "smart" technology etc.
@Vertigon It's only a design study on a virtual site!! there is no topography - there is no solar orientation. Now yes, it would need to be oriented a certain way to make use of the composition of glass and wall/roof. By the way, since this is only a thought, the glass does not have to be clear - it can have shaders, tinting, or even be opaque. The point is that instead of attaching a design you know nothing about - you should try taking your head out of your egotistical ass and smarten up.
@VertigonA380 - again - it's a design study!! Are you even an architect or architecture student.?? Engineer?? This is not a real completed project. And it's ok to stretch out your design legs - even if the design is not complete.......
how can you even say that when you know nothing about the building, it's location or its active systems. By the way, it's a preliminary design scheme - so why don't you use your brain before you shoot your mouth off.
No, I didn't even know what that was until I googled it just now. It looks like a second life kind of thing. We are real architects, who design houses and buildings for real people.
What if I wanted to get naked and my neighbors are outside having a BBQ? Lets just add in the probable factor that they are also drinking a 12 pak of Buds per hour and want to laugh at me. Sounds like a horror story lol
there are a few options for treating the windows. We modeled all of the glazing as clear glass for now, but some of the panels can be translucent panels - strategically placed. letting the light in and keeping prying eyes out. Also, we have developed a translucent and/or opaque sliding screen system that can be provided on the interior side of the glass. Keep in mind the site conditions that this was meant for, mountainous large acreage plot.
Also, it's hard to see in the model - but there is a sun shader on the glass facade to help reduce direct solar heat gain in summer months and let the sun hit the glass in the winter months. The balconies also add some shading. Keep in mind that it is all site specific.
i really need to know what is green about this house...well i like the design of this house..

unless this design accompanies a description it just looks like a cool mega bucks design - why is this green?????????

@PJNNJP Air conditioning has nothing to do with oil companies. If your getting your electricity from anything other then fusion then your a ape.
