No Footprint House Residential Prototype

No Footprint House Residential Prototype is an innovative sustainable residential architecture concept that exemplifies the future of climate-responsive housing design. This groundbreaking prototype, designed by Oliver Schütte, represents a significant advancement in prefabricated sustainable housing solutions, particularly suited for tropical climates. The structure, based on a 12x9-meter structural grid subdivided into 3x3-meter prefabricated units, encompasses 150 square meters of living space thoughtfully arranged around a central service core. Distinguished by its adaptable facade system featuring inclined bi-fold doors, the design enables dynamic interaction between interior and exterior spaces through passive climate control mechanisms. The prototype's architectural innovation lies in its systematic approach to sustainability, incorporating natural ventilation, solar shading, and interactive environmental controls. The construction methodology emphasizes prefabricated components, optimizing logistics and assembly efficiency while minimizing environmental impact. The two-bedroom configuration, complete with kitchen, dining, living, and terrace areas, demonstrates exceptional spatial efficiency and environmental consciousness. This revolutionary housing concept, recognized with a Silver A' Design Award in the Sustainable Products, Projects and Green Design category, showcases integral sustainability through its economic, environmental, social, and spatial performance metrics. The project's significance extends beyond its immediate architectural merit, representing a scalable solution for sustainable residential development that addresses contemporary challenges of climate change and environmental responsibility.
