X-FACTOR as Architects

Two elipsis that revolved on each other creating 2 diferent solids. When all the solids that contains the two capsules are intercepted, creates all the components that makes these houses ecological friendly


General Background:


The main components that makes these houses ecological friendly are the recycling materials in all the construction, also the main services components such as solar panels, water colectors, less usage of artificial lights, thanks to the crystal body.


Also the height of the houses help to use less land where emplazaría, thus helping to have green areas that surround the house, creating more green spaces where they can plant more trees for better production of oxygen, thus helping how to create green areas of higher density, using the air space of the land as the main consturcción area, and so not bothering sustainable housing.


Low environmental impacts over the project's life cycle. Energy and material efficiency in construction, operation and maintenance. High ratio of renewable energy with the use of solar cells. Land use efficiency.


Project involves the design efficiency by generating large spaces as concept, building with recycled materials and less use of freight, as well as reduction of waste is created, maintenance, operation, reuse and recycling, sustainable construction in order provide long-term economic benefits for owners, users and communities.


Integrated in the context of light, wind and water can reduce the ecological footprint to a minimum. Day light and natural ventilation are used to the fullest. Rainwater is collected. Likewise with the crop and planting of trees and shrubs in the ground, help create more shaded areas and also a lot of air, making the evapotaspiración is lower, so the heat is less than the full space or concrete paiment With the reduction of CO2 in the atmosphere preventing more greenhouse areas.
