About Nus 住宅

Nus係一座位於希臘克里特島嘅住宅。U形嘅主體建築同地下客房相結合。兩個體量都盡量向東南方向展開,以應對四季陽光角度嘅變化。兩個太陽能空間,一個設有固定遮陽裝置,另一個配備旋轉百葉同厚重牆體,可實現自然採暖同降溫。綠化屋頂、水景、通風井同可控屋頂開口進一步改善室內熱舒適度。光伏板、太陽能熱水器同地熱系統則有效降低能源消耗。

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.
