M�TUS CHARACTERISTICS This private residence has two definitive characteristics: 1) (Mõ; Mõtus - moving, movement, motion) External transformation of the main living area through movement of screens and insulated shells that allow for control over day-lighting, heat gain, openness, and privacy. 2) Offers the choice of immersion in nature by creating a transformative all-glass (glass walls, floor & ceiling) enclosed main living area. A challenge to maximize sustainable features while not losing the soul of the house. Many sustainable homes are super insulated and as a result are super opaque -- with limited glazing and therefore limited views out and interaction with the surrounding environment. This house attempts to find a new balance of spatial quality, embracing nature and using mechanical means to alter exposure and heat gain when needed.

MOTUS: MOVEMENT & TRANSFORMATION

Transformative environments via large retractable screens and shells at living and dining areas.

(Mõtus: moving, motion, movement) The operation of the moving screens and shells of the two highly glazed areas of the office and the living/dining area are best understood as analogous to removing layers of clothing with regard to change in weather; both of these areas feature moving shells, screens and glass panels that provide variable levels of privacy, day-lighting, heat gain and air flow. The living/dining area has virtually unlimited combinations of screen and shell positions. The screens and shells ride on tracks and are automatically retracted as desired, producing a completely transformative environment at the owners whim or can be set automatically to adjust to changing climatic variables. The cantilevered office/studio also has unlimited configurations of screen and shell positions. The glass sides can also be rolled back creating a virtual open-air office. Adjusting the office's climatic and privacy control systems will be analogous to and as convenient as adjusting the comfort settings on one's office chair.

"I don't like definitions, but if there is a definition of freedom, it would be when you have control over your reality to transform it, to change it, rather than having it imposed upon you.You can't really ask for more than that." Mark Knopfler

VENTUS CHARACTERISTICS This private residence has four definitive characteristics: 1) (MĂľ; MĂľtus - moving, movement, motion) External transformation of the office/studio through movement of screens and insulated shells that allow for control over day-lighting, heat gain, openness, and privacy. 2) Functions as a zero-energy design capable of being built in remote, on- or off-the-grid locations, with wind (Ventus) and sunlight being the major energy suppliers. 3) Offers the choice of immersion in nature by creating a transformative all-glass (glass walls, floor & ceiling) enclosed main living area and office. A challenge to maximize sustainable features while not losing the soul of the house. Many sustainable homes are super insulated and as a result are super opaque -- with limited glazing and therefore limited views out and interaction with the surrounding environment. This house attempts to find a new balance of spatial quality, embracing nature and using mechanical means to alter exposure and heat gain when needed. 4) Provides a contemplative and quiet yet stimulating home office/studio that is physically isolated (via an open air cantilever bridge) while visually and psychologically connected to the rest of the house.

VENTUS: SUSTAINABLE FEATURES (Ventus:Wind, Breeze) This private residence is organized so as to embrace and utilize the features of a unique landscape and dramatic sloping site. The topographically integrated cup form is sited towards prevailing winds and is designed to increase wind speed and resultant energy five-fold. The resultant wind-produced energy is stored for later use via hydrogen fuel cells. A 218’ pool of water is situated at the edge of the house along the ridge and two other pools provide micro-climate cooling. A pergola of photovoltaics run the length of the house, and the decking on the face of the cup is constructed of composite photovoltaics. A vegetative rooftop garden and other sustainable building systems and materials are integral to the design. Heating, cooling and day-lighting of the fully glazed “home office” and main living area can be actively micro-managed with fully retractable insulated shells and sunscreens. The photovoltaic array, four embedded bi-directional wind turbines, and fuel cells provide power to meet all operational needs enabling the house to be remotely located off the grid.

Cross sections through wind turbines.

What is a sustainable development? A. “Sustainable means using methods, systems and materials that won’t deplete resources or harm natural cycles” (Rosenbaum, 1993).

Roof, Lap & Lounge Micro-Climate Pools and Photovoltaic Pergola

Page 15

M� Ventus House copyright © 2012 - 2023

B. Sustainability “identifies a concept and attitude in development that looks at a site’s natural land, water, and energy resources as integral aspects of the development” (Vieira,1993) C. “Sustainability integrates natural systems with human patterns and celebrates continuity, uniqueness and placemaking” Sustainable developments are those which fulfill present and future needs while [only] using and not harming renewable resources and unique human-environmental systems of a site: [air], water, land, energy, and human ecology and/or those of other [off-site] sustainable systems (Rosenbaum 1993 and Vieria 1993). Sustainability is based on a simple principle: Everything that we need for our survival and well-being depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment. Sustainability creates and maintains the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony, that permit fulfilling the social, economic and other requirements of present and future generations. Sustainability is important to making sure that we have and will continue to have, the water, materials, and resources to protect human health and our environment and this philosophy is at the heart of Ventus.


UNIQUE FEATURES Among the innovations and unique features of this home, the most identifying and perhaps iconic feature of the house is the huge wind (ventus) cup, which captures wind energy for fuel cell storage. In the spirit of the most rigorous modern design manifestos it’s elegant curve is both beautiful and supremely functional. A one of a kind residential form without precedent. Also prominent and exclusive to this house is the cantilevered office space (a nostalgic nod to Frank Gehry’s Venice Beach Home and Office for screenwriter and director Bill Norton). Ventus’s office is again a one of a kind office space without precedent in regards to the cantilever and tranformative apparatuses. This office space is an unusual workspace, allowing one to be literally and fully in the world while simultaneously, via cantilever, isolated from its distractions, creating an inspirational yet highly productive working environment. A few extra and somewhat atypical house features are: beach access via a fun yet functional interior tube slide (cp. Carsten Holler's 5-story Tate Modern tube slide, London). Proposed commission from Carsten Holler and integrated from the upper most reaches of the house to the beach with several entry points between. Another feature is an outdoor amphitheater built into the lower half of the Ventus cup with radiant

heat step seating and a hydraulically risen weatherproof 25' diagonal flat screen for group movie screening or other digital media events with a stunning ocean/water backdrop (cp. Zurichhorn; Open Air Cinema) This deck area also contains cooking pits and a built-in dining table and seating for entertaining. On account of the floor plan’s linear configuration of bedrooms along the top edge, the footprint of the residence can range between 5,000-12,000 square feet depending on the owners desired final configuration and actual site conditions. The house is designed to be holistically balanced and technologically driven, but seductively designed, sited, and detailed.

Todd Fix's architecture will often blend high technology features with quality of life sensitivities -- incorporating technology to enhance human habitation, interpersonal interactions and personal comfort, while fostering a greater sense of place. Mõ Ventus is an attempt to create intimate human scaled spaces while being simultaneously open to the expansiveness of nature -- as seen in the fully glazed cantilevered office/ studio and living areas of this project. Fix’s observations of landscapes, combined with his interest in natural systems, sociology, philosophy, evolutionary science and art, has resulted in a commitment to humanity and the environment, which he is demonstrating in the field of architecture. He is fascinated by the potential of designed buildings and their landscapes to reconnect, express and teach about the natural systems that sustain them. In the broadest sense, his work is committed to the ideal that architecture is a material and social art that cunningly engages with the visual, social and political history and culture of which it is an active part. Designing environments that explore the interface between the social and physical, between convention and invention, between art and construction. The underlying thesis for MõVentus is that great architecture should deepen human experience, engage our most rudimentary rituals, while also elevating our awareness of a larger, evolving world. This project acknowledges “architecture” as an act of relations, as a relational and deeply situational art where symbolic and real space can meet.Toward these ends, the project seeks to produce or uncover moments of doubt and mystery that mark experience as unique and authentic, as more than mere understanding and presence, where deeper confrontations and conflicts and new social-cultural possibilities, ways of seeing, might emerge.

TODD FIX & Mďż˝ VENTUS Todd Fix is known by his colleagues for his ability to think unconventionally and for creating innovative one-off solutions for projects with complex programmatic criteria. His strength lies in his ability to see beyond an accepted paradigm and to discover new uses for old technologies as well as a continuous search for interesting implementations of new technologies. Learning about the art of architecture from educators at Harvard, MIT, University of Nebraska (Lincoln), Architecture Association (London) and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ETH (Zurich) has given him an uniquely broad perspective. He has worked for and learned from many of the most influential architects in New England and Switzerland. While working in these distinguished practices Fix has garnered a range of architectural experience including public infrastructure projects, multi-family housing, museum & exhibit design, mixed-use commercial buildings, urban design, and single family residential designs. He utilizes his more than twenty years of experience in architecture to inform his current research. Research that spans the areas of design, construction methodologies, healthy construction practices, material research and green technology. MĂľ Ventus is the most current embodiment of these research ideas.
