Lawn house 2003 (realization of prototype)

This project is an  bio-compatible  mobile house, characterized by still structure with envelope in plastic transparent panels (1,2mm depth). The “tray” system of the envelope allow the placement of the thin earth layer (3 cm)  blocked  by still grate. Over the envelope we think to put rolled  lawn  system (60 cm x 3,00 m).

The trapezoidal shape  allows a good  water drainage system and to hold the lawn over the structure.  The rolled lawn represents a good insulating material system and very good natural integration with the  landscape. It is economic, bio degradable material and is possible to leave it  in the place, allowing realization of the new green space. The whole of  modules  are bolded  and measure mt 3,00Lx2,20Hx1,20D.

At the and of structure is possible to place two transparent panels contain  the house door and a window allowing a good natural ventilation  system.

Finally are superimposed to the structure a series of PV panels  in amorphous mono and or polycristalline  silicon panels. The PV modules can be anchored  to the structure,  through docking system , all over  lawn surface with a only one liability of  south facing . From time to time  can be analysed the position of buildup  battery allowing  the preview about necessary  optimization of electric powered.
