5 key facts about this project
The project presents a careful response to the needs of modern living, focusing on a design that prioritizes sustainability and compactness. Situated in a context that allows for easy access to resources, the dwelling serves as an off-grid residence that balances self-sufficiency with a commitment to well-being. The concept centers around reducing electromagnetic exposure and fostering mindfulness through a tailored living arrangement.
Zoning and Spatial Arrangement
The layout articulates distinct zones for different activities: cooking, dining, working, and sleeping. This approach supports diverse uses of space and allows inhabitants to move easily from one function to another. The kitchen and living areas are vibrant and dynamic, while the sleeping area offers a quiet place for rest and contemplation.
Material and Structural Design
The dwelling is raised 2.4 meters above the ground, creating a clear separation from its surroundings. This elevation is reinforced by a structural framework made of metal, which serves multiple purposes. It integrates systems for collecting electromagnetic waves, solar energy, and rainwater, contributing to a self-sufficient lifestyle that makes the most of available natural resources.
Technological Integration
Modern technology plays a key role in enhancing the home's functionality while addressing health concerns related to electromagnetic fields. A closed Faraday cage system is employed to shield the interior from external interference. Key features include anechoic chambers that provide sound insulation, waveguides designed to block unwanted frequencies, and specially designed mesh foil windows that offer enhanced protection against electromagnetic exposure.
Unique Design Features
The design of the bathroom offers interesting versatility, allowing it to adapt between smaller and larger configurations to suit the needs of residents. This flexibility highlights the focus on efficient use of space, maximizing functionality within a limited footprint. Additionally, net curtains control the operation of the home’s systems, emphasizing a thoughtful approach to living and supporting the overall theme of mindfulness.
Large shielded windows invite natural light while ensuring privacy and protection, making the interior bright without sacrificing the integrity of the electromagnetic shielding.
