A zero-cube house built from brick and wood waste in a pilot project by Snøhetta
Snøhetta, a renowned Norwegian architecture firm, have recently embarked on a pilot project to construct a zero-cube house from brick and wood waste. This innovative project has many advantages, utilizing locally-sourced materials as well as its design as a zero-cube house, which requires little energy to operate and maintain. The house is also unique in its use of post-consumer waste products which were repurposed to build the home, thereby reducing environmental impact from these materials. In essence, this project is a remarkable instance of sustainable, responsible architecture.
The house is well ventilated, soundproof and thermally insulated, so you’ll feel just as comfortable in winter as you do in summer.
Architects and scientists designed a ground zero house not only for the sake of ecology and cheap energy but also to give house owners a maximum comfort in today’s fast-paced lifestyle. The project is also designed for a small winter garden and a plot of land where you can plant a small vegetable garden and an orchard.
Using solar and thermal panels built into the building’s exterior cladding as a source of energy, the carbon emissions from burning solid fuels can be significantly reduced. It would significantly reduce the threat of the greenhouse effect.
