The First Active House in Russia
Architects: P
O L Y G O N (Alexander Leonov, Svetlana Vasileva)
Launched by:
Zagorodny Proekt, VELUX Group
Construction: NLK "Domostroyenie"
Photographs: Alexander
Leonov, Torben Eskerod
Project
Team: Andrey Vasiliev, Mick Rammusen, Vera Leonova, Oleg Panitkov, Alexander
Elokhov, Alexander Elchugin, Aleksey Knyazev
Partners:
Saint-Gobain, Danfoss, Schiedel AG, ICOPAL, Gaulhofer, Somfy, Dörken, Tremco Illbruck
Project Area: 229
m2
Location: Moscow, Russia
Project
Year: 2011
The project
is organized and developed by one of the leading developers in the Moscow
region, the Zagorodny Proekt company, in cooperation with the VELUX Group. The First
Active House in Russia is designed by the Russian architectural office POLYGON.
An
important aspect of the Active House concept is that of ‘integration’. Although
energy, indoor climate and environment are essential components of the vision,
it is the way their integration promotes the architectural quality, human
health, comfort and well-being which represents the value of the building.
The
proportions and dimensions of the house have the appeal of a modern twist to
traditional architecture. The architectural experience of the house is about
the relationship between inside and outside, the interplay between geometry and
light. Moving from one room to another gives a unique experience of a picture
frame view to the environment and a clear view to the sky through the
strategically placed VELUX roof windows.
The house
has the appearance of a solid volume with extensions, which relate to different
functions in the house; a porch, mezzanine
and chimney. The house is oriented west-east with a south facing offset slope.
The
homogenous material on the roof and facade is a reference to traditional
Russian building methods.
The wooden
framework construction was chosen because it helps to ensure energy savings as multiple
layers of wall construction will minimize cold bridges. To create thermal mass,
special heavy gympsum is used in the interior walls.
The architects
worked with variations of daylight in the different spaces and securing
attractive views of the environment with strategically placed windows. Through
collaboration with the consulting engineers the design was optimized based on
indoor climate tests performed in 3D simulations. Simulations were made by the
VELUX Daylight Visualizer 2, a software tool dedicated to daylighting design
and analysis.
In the
project group the Active House principles created a platform where cooperation
between architects, engineers and energy specialists became a part of the
creative design process.
