The British company dRMM Architecture has spent several years in design and erection of Suffolk unusual cottage, called "Sliding Home". Customer Russell Ross wanted to get something not too fussy, but at the same time, advanced and innovative. To make it convenient, and unusual ecological.
And so it went. Some time ago, a happy new settler entered into a unique construction, and March 3, 2009 Alex de Rijk, chap dRMM, introduced Sliding House in London at the exhibition and conference on "green" architecture Ecobuild.
His colleagues on the shop and told the guests de Rijk, as innovation and creative thought flight can be connected to energy-efficient buildings "small forms". And "green" theme was tied to the Sliding House was not by chance. This cottage of his main sponsors - the Alex, and Gonsalves Joana - thought not for the sake of epatazha. While, admittedly, come home is impressive when you see it in action.
Sliding House deliberately "painted" in the style of local farms and the like from afar because of a shed or barn. In fact, Sliding House - these are three separate buildings, of the total concrete foundation: the main house, outhouse and garage. The first two built in one line (along the roof ridge) and the garage moved sideways so that almost touches the corners of them. Between the three blocks formed a small courtyard.
Zest same house - its outer shell mobile.
In addition to the main walls of the three building blocks of all the additional roof covers the top, combined with additional same walls. They also performed a few openings for windows and doors, only to behold notches are not necessarily tied to these doors and windows. After all, this "cap Pena" can move along the main axis of the building to many meters, with the ability to stop in any position.
Effectively. The owner may, at its taste, according to the weather, mood, time of day or year, change the degree of openness of the house. To make it to the castle, preserving heat, or substitute the same living room, conservatories (which is associated with a greenhouse because of the full glass walls and roof), under the rays.
The main story of this entire design - bars of larch. The basic structure of the walls are painted red and black, and the wooden walls of the external "Pena" is left of their natural hue. So the motion of the shell and even changing the prevailing color at home.
In a simplified form of the transformation of the premises, or treatment from a private home in the open we have already seen (for example, you can remember the home-bayan, rusty fort and a house without windows). But the idea of sliding Sliding House external designs brought to its logical finale: the connection of aesthetics to benefit.
Use the shell of his cottage, Russell changes the parameters of heat the sun, and - heat exchange with air, thereby reducing the cost of heating or air conditioning.
Wood, which de Rijk calls "the new concrete," is playing here is not the last role. British architect implies that a return to the wide application of wood in construction (new technologies) will help make homes more efficient.
"Opening" It sounds strange to the inhabitants of those settlements, where "all the way from the tree house and built. But, remembering the stylish and the British high-tech tower Timber tower, for example: it is indeed a new approach. Sam de Rijk (in collaboration with the architect company Helen & Hard) wants to build near the Norwegian Stavanger (Stavanger) modern wooden apartment complex with "original" name of Timber towers, consisting of three buildings (in total - to 114 apartments). The largest of them rises to 18 floors and will, according to the architects, the highest wooden structure in the world.
Since the degree of application of concrete, the authors of the draft has not yet been determined. Perhaps it will leave, but only for the central core buildings (elevators, stairs). Although it is possible, de Rijk will be able to build a 100-percent timber houses, then the record will be recorded on the right.
Wooden Sliding House are not so complicated. But no less interesting.
His 20-ton external facade of the roof is moved between the extreme positions within 6 minutes. Electric motors, resulting in the movement of small wheels, hidden in the thick of moving walls.
All four of these engines, as they are fed from the car battery that allows you to place a second wall and roof in place, even when disconnected from the power house. Finally a variety of seals and additional additions Thermal insulation makes this curious construction of habitable zhilische.Ross quite pleased with innovation. Now he can enjoy the scenery from the second floor glass addition, and if necessary to turn it into a darkened indoor room, suitable, for example, to use the home theater. In the case of conventional window would have to shoot multiple blinds, and more - something to do with a transparent roof.
Coverage in other rooms of the cottage also depends on the position of the outer shell, and in one of the places at home and it is open space to all the winds when necessary.
And, of course, one can not but rejoice in the house, which you can choose (to some degree), position and size of windows and doors. What is "shed" on this way?
