Carboneras House

Currently the state of Sinaloa presents high levels of humidity, precipitation and temperature, so the design of the house is focused on the develop of interior spaces capables of reduce the impact of the extrems exterior conditions by using green roofs, water bodies and cross ventilation, the project also aims the use of sustainable energy and water treatment, in order to reduce the waste of natural resources.

Humidity

Water Treatment System

Green roofs

Solar panels

+ 50% of Permeable open space

The weather conditions of the region leads the design principles of the house with the goal of reduce the CO2 emissions that the house can produce. The first strategy is to keep +50% of open spaces that allows the use of cross ventilation and reduce the heat inside the rooms. Secondly, another strategy it´s the design of a water treatment system that irrigates the plants on the roof and the yards after that the system fills the water bodies before to return to the basement where the water it´s clean up and ready for being used again, at the end the water system reduces the temperature of the outside and keeps alive the nature of the house.

Finally, the use of solar panels decreases the use of electricity and gas that came from the local network, as a result the house it´s a sustainable system that works and optimizes with the local resources of the site.
