ABOUT:
La Casetta prototype was designed to support the Eco-friendly development direction, and assembles all the following elements. Such as, green rooftop with ability to collect the rain water, and re-usage it for the grey water supply. Its also solar panels energy supply, economy way of energy usage, and good insulation, and ability to use natural cooling and ventilation, with the certain circumstances.
DETAILS:
Even if the budget is very limited, this is not the reason do not to try to make an art piece from affordable materials. In our case the most affordable element was corrugated steel, which we cut off prefabricated containers. It became our main decorated detail of the interior. And at the exterior, I designed the kinetic composition out of simple shapes, by playing with colours and shadows, and metal textural deepness, for the viewer of the main facade. Floor is the original container PT plywood, and suspended ceiling made of PT plywood as well. It’s giving a cosiness of natural wooden texture to the interior environment. Affordable, concrete imitated tile is finishing our main decorative materials list of the interior, and pointing on space’s zones separation.
