Modern Hill House Design
Here is the Modern Hill House design – Mecano in Osa Peninsula, a peninsula located in the Puntarenas Province in southwestern Costa Rica by Robles Arquitectos. House Mecano is a body composed of a structure, a skin and a mechanism to adapt to their environment. The Concept of the residence arises in the use of passive strategies through bioclimatic design in synergy with an automation system that controls the appropriate levels of natural ventilation through open window systems and a pulley system that alter the position and inclination of the eaves manually, promoting thermal comfort and indoor air quality. The goal will be to maximize function in the smallest space possible. Now look the modern hill house design – mecano house with picture below:
Modern Hill House Design materials: the main project goal is to minimize the amount of construction materials needed. The steel structural system is modular, allowing the reduction of construction debris. The roof panels allow the reduction of roof supports as they have a great structural capacity. The materials chosen are low maintenance
Environment goals for Modern hill house design: Use of low emitting products, Thermal comfort acheived with the use of passive strategies, Natural ventilation, Natural ilumination, Interior / Exterior integration, and Adequate internal accoustics
Casa Mecano function as an organism composed by a structure, skin and a mechanism that adapts the its environment. The project maximize the use of passive design strategies through biocli matic architecture in sinergy with the integration of a Building Management System that operate the glazingvents in order to achieve the thermal comfort levels, adequate for the tropical environment.
