This two-storey residence, “Safe House”, is located in a small village, on the outskirts of the capital and largest city of Poland, Warsaw. Around housing have been built typical “cube houses” so characteristic of the Polish construction of 60-70, although there are in the old wooden barns.
The main priority demanded by customers was to get the feeling of maximum security for your future home, motive which determined its appearance and function.
Cuboid building is a concrete monolith, while their non fixed components comprise lightweight steel trusses filled mineral wool to ensure complete isolation.
The whole house, as well as moving parts are coated plates concrete particles coated with cedar plywood, waterproof and fixed to the steel frame, painted in dark likeness of typical existing houses and barns in the neighborhood .
Once the house opens, its bright and spacious interior merges with the extensive garden. Large windows placed behind the movable panels allow the building to absorb the energy of sunlight in winter days or protects the hot sun during the summer. At night, if the house is closed, the thick outer layer helps keep the stored energy. This solution complements hybrid heating system, most of the energy is obtained from renewable resources combined with a gas heat pump.
This house is truly amazing. Feel free to leave your comment below…
