Summer House
PROJECT BRIEF
To design an eco-friendly tiny home while
considering energy-saving processes, material
sourcing, and implementation of renewable sources.
FeaturE 1
Shipping Containers.
Utilizing reclaimed materials
dramatically reduces the need
for construction materials and the ecological footprint of the house.
FeaturE 2
Green roofs.
Building this extra layer on the
roof provides insulation and
increases biodiversity by providing another habitat for plants and animals.
FeaturE 3
Open Floor Plan.
Not dividing the interior space means better temperature control, use of sunlight, and material savings.
FeaturE 4
Canopy Shutters.
Shading the windows maintains a naturally temperature-controlled environment by reducing the sunlight entering your home during certain hours of the day.
FeaturE 5
Solar Panels.
As a renewable energy source, solar panels reduce a homeowner's carbon footprint as well as save you money year-round.
