Each time from a new country, with a unique architecture
View of the world
Instead of relying solely on our designs, we draw inspiration from characteristic forms, cultures, and smart solutions from other countries – adapting and integrating them into our own architecture to suit our climate.
For this, we select traditional forms from different countries and modernize them with solar components – each time a new country!
Our emphasis is on the utilization of passive solar strategies from the very first steps of the design process. This allows us to create solar houses that are efficient while also possessing high aesthetic value, as we envision them.
Additional roof
This concept allows for the optimal integration of photovoltaic systems into the southern façade of a residential building. The central staircase in the middle section of the second PV integration provides direct access to the building. The first floor also features its own south-facing windows for visual contact and direct sunlight.
Rotatable PVs
Maximizing the use of sunlight has always been a central focus in the integration of intelligent and rotating panels. The concept includes rotating horizontal panels that hold PV systems while simultaneously allowing part of the sunlight to pass through to the southern surface of the building.
Packed PVs
The concept aims to minimize unnecessary window surfaces in commercial and public buildings such as libraries or parking structures. To achieve this, the window area is reduced, and a large portion of the southern façade is dedicated to photovoltaic systems, creating a larger surface area for radiation absorption by the PV systems.
Inclined wall and BIPV
This concept addresses the question of whether a building always requires its own component for the integration of PV systems. An additional southern diagonal structure provides sufficient space for the integration of PV systems to meet the maximum surface area requirements for solar modules. Direct visual contact with the southern side remains possible.
PVs on spaceframe
The modernization of existing buildings by adding external components without interfering with the structure has always been important. This concept proposes that external vertical components hold PV systems, supported by an intelligent system that rotates according to the direction of sunlight. This idea is applicable to most existing buildings.
Concepts of countries
Summer Villa
1. Emirates - Summer villa
Even though the tropical climate of the Emirates differs greatly from the much cooler climate of Germany, it can still be worthwhile to bring certain elements of Arabic architecture to Europe to explore new design approaches and atmospheres. A wind catcher with BIPVs, a green roof, intelligent shading panels, and PVs on a large shading canopy are the specific solar components.
