5 key facts about this project
### Project Overview
The design titled "Aurea Mediocritas" focuses on contemporary domestic architecture with an emphasis on sustainability, adaptability, and community engagement. It aims to create a living environment that balances individual needs with collective responsibilities while minimizing ecological impact. The architectural approach involves a modular form, primarily composed of natural materials, promoting integration with the surrounding environment.
### Spatial Strategy
The design incorporates flexible spatial configurations enabled by movable "interim walls," allowing residents to customize their living areas as required. This adaptability facilitates a range of room layouts, including shared and private spaces, thereby optimizing functionality within a compact footprint. Central to the layout is the "room of presence," designed to enhance social interaction among occupants, reinforcing the importance of community within the residential context.
### Materiality and Sustainability
Materials used in the construction prioritize sustainability and environmental integration. Wood serves as a primary material for structural and aesthetic purposes, fostering a connection to the natural environment. Large glass openings provide ample natural light and enhance the indoor-outdoor relationship. Aluminum components are employed in the construction of movable walls, ensuring functionality and durability. The design integrates advanced insulation materials for thermal efficiency and incorporates solar panels for energy generation, reflecting a commitment to reducing the ecological footprint.
