PROJECT 17

"ECO TOWNHOUSE"

Sacralis

Company Sacralis offers a conceptual model of an autonomous eco townhouse. Its realization will enable the creation of an increasingly-desirable low-rise building ecovillage with the capability of establishing a local microclimate, whilst maximizing the use of alternative (renewable) sources of energy. “To control the weather” in the courtyard of the micro-district is possible when “sections” are closed. The enclosed space of the courtyard excludes dust from the neighborhood.

The air-conditioning and filtration, and foreground design allow the creation of either one big climatic zone or several zones with their own temperature, humidity and dominant vegetation. Pre-existing plants and their “dwarf analogues” will be used in the village to recreate coniferous or tropical forests. It is also possible to fill the courtyard with seawater or fresh water with their inhabitants (fish, mussels, algae). The pool is an extra heat (cold) accumulator when it’s filled with water.

The use of composite materials is planned to create the framework of the building. It will enable us to combine the strength of reinforced concrete structures, the high workability of carbon fiber and stainless steel’s aesthetic qualities. Each block “section” is designed as an independent unit with all communications, connected to a single power plant of the settlement. It will enable the development to take place step-by-step, depending on the production stage of the next block. It is anticipated that the neighborhood will be formed of 16 sections, each having 2 sections. The structure of each section is a three-story block.

The main unit of the power plant will be in the central part of the settlement. This unit includes the silenced wind turbine, propelled by convection currents of air during neighborhood conditioning (heating). The central column is also the basis of the rigidity and bears the load of the dome. The domical form is the ideal natural figure. The sphere has the same shape as the Earth. You’ll be in harmony with the planet living in such a house. Moreover it has a sacral meaning – living in a sphere, located on a sphere. Spherical houses are healthy for your family and bring a joyful mood to friends and neighbors.
