A sustainable house in Bern, clad in copper, with high energy efficiency
House Faraday is located in the Lorraine
district of Bern, a workers’ neighbourhood of old clapboard residential
houses alternating with dull post-war buildings. The area has evolved
over the last two years into an "alternative” urban village. Fuelled by
earth probe, the house is well insulated and with controlled
ventilation. It provides cover for wind and weather, as well as noise
and the electromagnetic fields of nearby electric power, hence the name
“House Faraday”.
The corrugated copper sheet cladding will age quickly and this will give
it a touch of sensuality. Through oxidation, the copper will change
its colour to dark brown, and after 20 to 30 years to light green. This
is the first time that an experimental spirit has visited Bern and
Lorraine is arguably the only district where this would be acceptable.
