Eco-Shell Habitat
The project is a study of passive and active sustainable systems. The shape of the house is derived from a conceptual arc that traces the path of the sun as heating degree days come to an end and cooling is needed. This blocks the hot summer sun, while letting light through during cooler months when needed. The Interior is open to daylight, and earth sheltering on the north provides further insulation from cold winter winds.Louvered clerestory windows allow light to penetrate deep into
the building, while blocking high angle solar rays in the warmer months.
Geothermal heating pumps provide warmth in the winter and
cooling in the summer.
An earth barrier on the north side will provide insulation
and wind shielding.
Concrete or Gypsum floors provide a thermal mass to help
maintain consistent interior temperature.
