Passive houses as type houses
COMMENT: I like the concept of movement through space based on time — something about the full usage of the individual’s environment.
Passive houses as type houses
Kjellgren
Kaminsky has produced Swedens first series of passive
houses sold as type houses in collaboration with Emrahus.
Their goal is to make this environmentally friendly building technique
available for all. Villa Nyberg is the first one to get built. The
villa has been customized for the Nyberg family and is situated in
Borlänge, central Sweden.
Passive houses are extremely well-insulated buildings that are
largely heated by the energy already present in the building – people
and the household equipment generate a lot of energy. The energy
simulations show that this villa will have an energy consumption for
heating of only 25 kWh/m²year.
The villa is situated by a lake in a fur forest in central Sweden.
The living room and kitchen open up towards the views of the lake, the
more private areas such as the bedrooms and bathrooms are situated on
the other side of the house with smaller windows overlooking the
forest. The round shape of the villa eliminates coldbridges and reduces
the enclosing wallarea of the house. It also effects the way you live
in the house, during the day one will move from room to room around the
building experiencing different views and daylight conditions.
