About Nus Teach Chónaithe

Is teach cónaithe é Nus atá suite sa Chréit, sa Ghréig. Tá príomh-imleabhar U-chruthach comhcheangailte le teach aíochta faoi thalamh. Uasmhéadaíonn an dá imleabhar an nochtadh oirdheisceartach agus freagraíonn siad d'uillinn athraitheach na gréine tríd na séasúir. Ligeann dhá spás ghréine, ceann amháin le scáthú seasta agus ceann eile le dallóga rothlacha agus balla maise, do théamh agus fuarú nádúrtha. Feabhsaíonn díon glas, dromchlaí uisce, seolán aerála agus oscailtí rialaithe díon an compord teirmeach. Laghdaíonn painéil fhótavoltacha, téitheoirí uisce gréine agus córas geoiteirmeach an lorg fuinnimh.

Unique Properties: The main criteria for the architectural decisions made, were the need for low energy footprint building designs, as well as the views towards pure Cretan nature. Τhe main U shaped residence along with the underground guest house volume, maximize the southeast exposure of the building, while they are taking advantage of the different angle of the sun rays during the seasonal cycles.
Dimensions & Packaging: Interior area 300 m2,
Plot area 4000 m2

Production Technology: For natural heating and cooling, we created two solar spaces, one with fixed shading, one with rotating blinds and a mass wall. Water surfaces on the south walls, the green roof, the hiding of the western light, the vertical ventilation shaft with small openings towards the North and the controlled shading roof openings, lead to thermal comfort conditions. Photovoltaic panels, solar water heaters and the vertical geothermal system, contribute to minimize the building’s ecological footprint.
Inspiration: We believe in the integration of buildings into nature. Humble design tones present with more challenging architectural solutions, that take into account the sustainability and the ecological footprint of our built environment. Furthermore, the Cretan nature and landscape only needs a good frame to be appreciated or no frame at all. And this is what we did here. Minimum sq.meters, natural materials and welcoming volume decisions.
