Transparent house on the outskirts

The project is implemented by the architectural firm itHouse Taalman Koch in Payonirtaun, California, USA. Location of the house is very unusual, because Payonirtaun - a ghost town, film set of films about the Wild West and the tourist mecca. And it may be the only modern house in the city. Surrounded by a rocky landscape, it is a few components assembled outside the area, allowing the best way to control the quality of work and the finished product, as well as easier to get rid of debris.

Designed as a small house with glass walls and open-plan, itHouse brings man and nature. itHouse presented living room, kitchen, dining room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Home Energy Efficiency is achieved by installation of passive heating and cooling, solar thermal and photovoltaic panels, the correct orientation on the site and cross ventilation.
