House and bridge in Adelaide

The customer is probably on sale, bought a small plot to anything unsuitable land, and invited architects from Max Pritsard Arkitekt (Max Pritchard Architect) to build a house for permanent residence and office. Place a ravine, a small valley of a small mountain river. The house was not supposed to interfere with the natural conditions, disrupt the natural beauty, but should fit into the budget, 220, 000. Externally, the house looks like a steel wagon with glass facades dock, which has spread from one bank to another. Since the house is as if a pillar, the feeling that you live in the trees – not visible from the windows of the trunks and branches and the tops of the beautiful neighborhood. Steel towers, supporting structures were factory manufactured and assembled with a crane on site. The piles are fixed on four concrete foundations. The walls and roof “boxes” are made of local pine. Side, the long part of the building looking to the north and south. Even in winter the sun warms the black insulated concrete floor, keeping the heat in order to give it away at night. A small fire can provide extra warmth when needed. Cooling in summer is achieved through expandable steel panels installed on the northern facade. Additionally, provide a cool fan mounted on potolke.Pri selecting materials meet the following requirements: they must have been locally produced, which does not violate the environmental protection, to be able to reuse and recycle, it is easy to assemble without the use of special machines and equipment, not to pollute the nature. Naturally, in a house used by eco-technologies. Rainwater is collected from the roof and used for the home. Processed and used water from a pump is pumped 100 meters from the mouth of the river and after treatment is distributed in the soil. For power use photovoltaics for water heating – solar energy.
