5 key facts about this project
## Overview
Located in a semi-urban or natural setting, the Nomads' Nest project integrates sustainable architectural principles with a focus on modern living and adaptability. Inspired by the construction of a bird’s nest, the design fosters a relationship between built environments and their natural surroundings. Amid a contemporary architectural discourse, this project emphasizes the importance of flexibility in housing, tailoring to the changing needs of its occupants while promoting ecological responsibility.
## Spatial Configuration and User Interaction
The layout features a series of modular units that facilitate a dynamic living experience. Designated areas include comfort modules for social interaction, private sleeping quarters, and green rooftops that bridge indoor and outdoor living. These elements are interconnected through cantilevered pathways, enhancing circulation and ensuring effective natural ventilation. This organization supports not only individual comfort but also encourages community engagement through shared, interactive spaces.
## Materiality and Sustainability
The material selection is central to the project's sustainability ethos, incorporating a range of eco-friendly components. Compressed bricks provide thermal mass and insulation, while a robust steel framework supports the structure's integrity. Terracotta facades offer both aesthetic warmth and natural benefits. The integration of solar panels enhances energy independence, and features that promote natural ventilation reduce reliance on mechanical systems. This careful consideration of materials contributes to the ecological efficiency and overall sustainability of the habitat.
