E House - Architecture projects

Description

Located on the hillside of a hill near Barcelona and with a fantastic view, the building is deployed collecting light from the South and enjoying the surrounding scenery. The house, designed to be as efficient as possible and with an interest in renewable energies, is half-buried for better energy performance.

The volumes of the different floors are turning and adapting to landscape orientation as needed. The use of geothermal energy and underground water use are some of the resources will be used this construction to be one of the most efficient housing built to date. The use of ventilated facades, green roofs and windows with high insulation can reduce energy bills to a minimum and be near self autonomy.

An ecological and healthy building who develop an unique housing, easy to live and with a spectacular view.

Inside, the house is defined by its spatial simplicity that does not limit its wealth. The open spaces but compartimentables, adjusted to the demands of the owners, are continue and complement themselves when necessary. A double illuminated space connects the lower rooms with the top floor of the bedrooms and absorbs the spatial turn that produces the building. Spacious and bright, the rooms are arranged as a suite and are decorated with taste and shape of each member of the family who live in them.

The house shows an environmental concern with great tailored design. It is in a perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality required by its inhabitants, being the perfect place to live as long as they want. Their happiness is our best reward.
