The project arises from the consideration of the specific character of holiday life and the Balearic islands’ gentle climate. The house is conceived mainly as a porch crossed by air, light and scenery. The ample program is organized in local-stone volumes which configure, in the spaces between them, the north-side patio and, under the first floor, the main living space. Three powerful concrete porches perpendicular to the stone volumes frame the sea in the horizon, set the northern limit of the patio, and define the relationship between the later and the main living space.

Georgia Tech’s new Carbon-Neutral Energy Solutions (CNES) Laboratory develops technologies to reduce the earth’s carbon footprint. From design and construction to daily operation, the laboratory seeks to achieve carbon-neutral “net-zero site energy use” (defined as zero net energy consumption and zero carbon emissions annually) expressed simply, directly and honestly through a “no frills” design. The lab sets a new standard for sustainable design for buildings of its type by optimizing passive energy technologies, reducing electricity loads, and maximizing the use of renewable energy. It houses a variety of energy research programs requiring large-scale (high-bay) and intermediate-scale (mid-bay) capabilities.
Back in 2006, architect engineer Peter Van Impe was searching for a place to accomodate his newly founded architects and engineers office, AST 77 architects and engineers office.
