| Sustainable Roof Tile by Area Industrie Ceramiche Posted: 22 Jun 2010 01:46 AM PDT This roof tile is the answer for people who want to built an energy-free house without providing any additional photovoltaic panels. This sustainable design is produced by Area Industrie Ceramiche.
This roof tile, called Tegolasolare has 4 photovoltaic panels. The tile itself is made from ordinary ceramic material. The use is also the same with the ordinary roof. The panels are then interconnected to create a real photovoltaic field, which may cover the whole roof and can be as large as required.

| House on Lake Okobaji by Min|Day Posted: 21 Jun 2010 11:04 PM PDT Lake Okoboji is located in Iowa. It’s a part of a glacial lake system surprisingly located amidst endless cornfields, 2.5 hours from the nearest metropolitan area. The lake is ringed by numerous oak trees which form beautiful a canopy around the lake, separating it from the corn fields. The owner of this house wanted to make a vacation house near the lake. The lake’s views and vacation atmosphere were the considered aspects by Min|Day as the designer.
The location of this house is on the shoreline where old cottages and new McMansions sit tightly together. The house is designed on minimal size, also providing the optimal view from inside, without forgetting the privacy. The exterior is design simple. Opaque and slatted vertical Ipe clads a stacked set of spatial tubes (the primary living spaces) that are open to the lake and woods views, but visually closed to neighbors on the sides. The spatial tubes was formed view axes running through the site, perceptually linking the lake through the forest to the fields beyond. These view-framing tubes are literal voids in the mass of the house bounded at their ends only by glass. Light and air also enters these rooms through operable windows set behind the slatted Ipe cladding. Dense service spaces ("program solids") fill the remaining volume.  view projection The first level is dominated with spaces that have some openings to the exterior. The private spaces (bedrooms and bathrooms) are designed considering the intimacy, by using of some colors. All interior surfaces in these rooms are subsumed by intense color to the extent that each feels like a zone of pure color. Here, color becomes an important tool of space making.  interior  the kitchen  elevation  floor plan  section view  |
