Explore This Amazing WorkThe Breathing House Dynamic Facade of Sliding Terraces
Imagined as a dynamic living system,the breathing house is a three storey eco-sustainable family home whose glass facade is segmented into a series of sliding terraces. The system works by means of a large metal grid that serves as an anti-sismic external skeleton for the structure (the frame allows to conduct cabling and collect rainwater). Sliding out a terrace, however, extends the internal room into a dynamic balcony. The windows are made of solar glass cells providing all the energy needs.
