About Nus 住宅

Nusは、ギリシャ・クレタ島に位置する住宅である。U字型のメインヴォリュームと、地下に設けられたゲストハウスが組み合わされている。дваつのヴォリュームはいずれも南東への開口を最大化し、季節によって変化する太陽高度に応答する。固定式の日除けを備えたものと、可動ルーバーおよび蓄熱壁を備えたものという2つのソーラースペースが、自然な暖房と冷房を可能にしている。緑化屋根、水面、換気シャフト、制御可能な屋根開口部が温熱環境の快適性を高める。太陽光発電パネル、太陽熱温水器、地中熱システムがエネルギー負荷を低減している。

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.

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.
