Sustainable Suburban House

The house has a low energy requirement due to its size. Solar panels have been installed on the roof to reduce fossil energy consumption. Heating and cooling are provided by a heat recovery system. To reduce the energy used for cooling, the house can be ventilated from north to south through the upper windows. The bedrooms are located on the north side. The green roof is thermally insulating and attractive to pollinators. The amount of natural light has been increased by installing a skylight. Rainwater is collected in a rainwater tank through a gravel bed placed on the roof, partially filtered. From there, it is used for other purposes, such as irrigation and toilet flushing. The terrace in the courtyard is covered with recycled bricks and its size does not overwhelm the natural green area. The use of materials in the house is also environmentally conscious, the exterior cladding is made of recycled wood, the flooring is cork, the interior walls are whitewashed, and recycled tiles were used in the bathroom. The countertops and bathroom floor are covered with sintered stone. Recycled wood is also used in the interior as a material for furniture.
