DUNEhouse by Gianluca Santosuosso
The DUNEhouse has been designed by Italian architect-engineer Gianluca Santosuosso , and it is a Peruvian house energy-efficient based on the wind power, which is the most important parameter of this building.
The structure of the house is organized in order to maximize the wind flow and consequently the natural ventilation inside the building, and most of the rooms are located atop some small artificial dunes that work as thermal mass for regulating the incoming air temperature.
An interesting thing about this house is that it can be related with an artificial organism, where the covering envelope composed of different soil bubbles works as a green wall where the plants are able to grow and consequently regulate the microclimate surrounding the house.
