About Nus IIndlu Yokuhlala

Nus yindlu yokuhlala ekufumaneka eCrete, eGreece. Umqulu ophambili owenziwe ngesimo esifana no-U udibaniswa nendlu yeendwendwe engaphantsi komhlaba. Iindawo zombini zizama ukufumana ukukhanya kwelanga okuninzi ngasempuma-mzantsi kwaye ziphendula kutshintsho lwengoni yelanga ngokusekwe kwiixesha lonyaka. Kukho iindawo ezimbini ezisebenzisa ilanga, enye enesithintelo esimileyo kunye nenye enemikhusane ejikelezayo kwakunye nodonga olunobunzima, ezivumela ukufudumeza nokupholisa ngendlela yendalo. Uphahla oluluhlaza, imiphandle yamanzi, umbombo wokuphefumlisa kunye neengcango zophahla ezilawulwayo zenza ngcono ubumfudumali obufanelekileyo. Iiiplanga zephotovoltaic, izifudumezi zamanzi zelanga kunye nenkqubo ye-geothermal zinciphisa umthamo wamandla asetyenzisiweyo.

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.
