Woodland House
Cork
|
|
| This dwelling is in a sustainable woodland, filled
and planted to restore a worked-out quarry 50 years ago. Construction is virtually all
timber, and the house has a heat pump drawing from a reflecting pond and south-facing banks of
earth. The whole site is worked as permaculture. There is reed-bed water treatment and a well
on-site. Passive solar principles were applied. Good daylight factor, especially from the high
sky component, in dense woodland, drove the design and deciduous shading in Summer helps avoid
overheating. |
