The Design

About Kylie Rodinný dům

Kylie je rodinný dům nacházející se na okraji města poblíž venkovské krajiny. Podobně jako slunečnice se budova otáčí podle dráhy slunce. V zimě solární zisky snižují potřebu vytápění, zatímco v létě natočení do stínu zabraňuje přehřívání. Kylie byla postavena jako prefabrikovaná dřevěná rámová konstrukce, přičemž dub byl použit na terasové podlahy, nábytek, obklady stěn a parketové podlahy. Vytápění zajišťuje tepelné čerpadlo využívající podzemní vodu a fotovoltaický systém na střeše vyrábí elektřinu. Celkově dům vyrábí více energie, než spotřebuje.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties
Located on the outskirts of the city near the countryside, the building was designed as a residential house. The special feature: Like a sunflower, the structure rotates with the course of the sun. In the winter, the heating requirement is minimized due to the solar gains, whereby, in the summer, turning into the shade protects the house from overheating.
Dimensions & Packaging
Heating is provided by a groundwater heat pump. Thermal comfort is achieved by using capillary tube mats in the floor and ceiling. A photovoltaic system on the roof generates electricity. In the overall balance, the house produces more energy than it consumes.

Production Technology
The building was constructed with sustainability in mind. Building materials were used according to their significance. The building was realized as a prefabricated modern timber frame construction due to the economic efficiency and ecological aspects, but also on account of its weight. Oakwood as a native hardwood was used in the exterior, for the decking of the terrace, and in the interior for the furniture, the wall cladding and for the parquet flooring.
Design Challenge
The experimental architecture, as well as the resulting geometry and the artisanal execution require a huge amount of passion and concentration from all parties involved.
Research
Thanks to its plasticity, the sculptural shape of the residential building creates a variety of spatial situations both indoors and outdoors. The exciting geometries and the individual spatial alignments of the structural components allow the exterior and interior to become one. The architecture transforms into a living organism.
Inspiration
At the same time, the relationship between the exterior and the interior is constantly restaged by rotating the building. Like in a film sequence, the residents experience the effect of the different scenarios on the interior. Seasons and the run of the day can be perceived emotionally, create intense spatial atmospheres and a high level of identity.
Project Duration
Location: Heuchelheim, Hesse, Germany.
Completion: 2021
Operation Flow
The sculptural shape of the residential building develops from the requirements of the users as well as from the structural and energetic frame conditions.
The living area forms the heart of the building with a high, open-air space and a dynamically designed staircase made of steel. The functional areas are arranged around this air space as freely formed architectural elements.
The privacy area for the residents is integrated as an independent structure in the shape of a boomerang into the cylindrical base structure. A walkway through the airspace connects the work area and the far-reaching relaxation area.
