A sustainable tourist ecovillage
The project concerns a small nucleus of self-sustaining tourist houses to be located on a plot of land of approximately 1000 square meters. The position of the houses can naturally be modified according to the morphology of the terrain, slopes, whether trees or other natural elements such as rocks, waterways, streets, and tracks and so on are present. The only element which must not be modified is the south facingposition of the day zone in order to take advantage of as much direct sunlight as possible for natural heating in the winter. A number of additional elements such as the covered terrace (shaded) will guarantee all the required comfortduring the summer.
A basic typology has been purposely chosen which on the one hand highlights the functions of the house: to the north the rooms, in the centre a linking zone which allows inhabitants to go outside and on the south open to the landscape; on the other hand, to give the image of a ‘friendly system’ which is immediately understood and which can be adapted to the different landscapes and integrates, in as far as possible, with nature.
