Beach house self-sufficient in water and energy

Inhabitat tells us about the unusual house, hidden among the trees. The clients have asked the firm Nova Tayona Architects to design energy efficient and self-contained, modern house, hidden from prying eyes, but at the same time, being on the ocean. The house was built in the Canadian Lockport and it differs from the typical beach houses. Despite the proximity to the ocean, he was safely hidden from wandering around the local coast people. The house is located on a quiet Cove and is designed so that it takes full advantage of passive energy sources.

Although he is hidden among the vegetation, he heard the sound of the waves, and through the trees see the Shine reflected from the ocean lights.

Forty two million two hundred forty thousand seven hundred thirty

A narrow path, winding between trees, connects the house with rustic and secluded beach and views of the ocean and coast.

Seventy five million two hundred sixty eight thousand three hundred thirty four

The house is located and constructed in such a way that best takes advantage of passive energy. It is raised above the ground and protected from unexpected storms and tides. Large canopy saves the occupants from the summer sun rays and at the same time, allows low winter sun to heat concrete floors. Huge Windows provide natural light and views of the surrounding landscape. Roof designed so that rainwater falling on it is collected in special tanks with a volume of 6600 litres. So, besides electricity, the building provides its owners with drinking water. published
