GREEN BOX

Luis De Garrido Architects as Architects

The house has a very unique architectural structure. A sloping garden leaves an open space below it, where the home is located. In the center stands a triangular tower with a vertical garden. The tower forms the central courtyard, which acts as a chimney effect to draw hot air from the house.


The house has a fully flexible architectural structure. The interior is completely transparent, and allows any type of distribution and internal partitioning. Thus the home can become office, residence, apartments, museum, exhibition hall, etc .... Similarly, can be expanded, reduced or modified easily, without works, and waste generation.


The pitched roof is seen as an extension of the ground, so that makes up the interior space has a variable height. The geothermal system machinery, boilers and heat exchangers are located in areas with lower height. However in higher spaces are located the rooms of the house. In the center of the house is located a central covered courtyard, shaped tower with a vertical garden.


It should be noted that because of its advanced features GREEN BOX was built in just 15 days in the city of Barcelona. Was removed in 7 days, and moved to Toledo, where he remounted.
