The shape of the building’s footprint is a direct result from wind studies. By combining the different wind charts, we arrived at the conclusion that the proper orientation and exterior shape should be modeled according to the direction of prevailing winds. This method prevents the structure from acting on strong wind loads, therefore avoiding friction and functioning more as a wind tunnel.
Inspiration for the external cladding of the house came from observing the abdomen (tail) of a lobster. The abdomen of the lobster’s exoskeleton has several functions related to the survival and re-productivity of the crustacean. The project’s external cladding plays a similar role as that of the lobster’s abdomen, providing a protective shell from which wind power and solar energy can be harvested.
