More with less , a
miniature village of prefab houses and vegetable gardens , stems freom a
project by Cibic &Partners ( Aldo Cibic & Tommaso Cora ) in Liaison with Dogtrot.
The Basic housing unit is a 4X4 m. From this one can create
all manner consultable from a chart .The look can be varied: the façade may be
green , wooden ,rendered or metal : the roof can be flat ;pitched ;terrace-able
; green or equipped with photovoltaic panels.
Other variables relate to climate, function and cost. Outside
features like decks ,verandas , flower boxes and partition screens can personalize
the design still further . These prefab bunglows are designed to grow in time:
the basic cell can be added to upwards or sideways, as the use changes. Whatever
the solution, the project prioritizes sensitivity to landscaping.
The basic structure has walls of laminated wood paneling and
natural forms of insulation, a cocoon of high thermal insulating ideas. Criteria
of sustainability mean that there is a gamut of energy –producing system to
suit all latitudes and climates. Heating may be installed and assisted by a
wind-powered generator if appropriate, or heat can be accumulated from a
combination of energy sources. Energy-saving features include: a green roof,
LED lighting, use of vacuum hygiene facilities, retrieval of “white “water” and
collection of rainwater.
