Thermal Rock Wall - Passive Solar Climate Control

The stone wall on the South Facade absorbs heat during the day, lowering the heat gain on the interior of the house. At night as the air cools the heat is given back into the surrounding air, warming the house naturally.

Project: Levine Residence

Wood slat shades roll across the facade on galvanized barn door track controlling the amount of solar gain inside the house. The house opens and closes over the course of the day, changing the facade.

In our quest to lower the carbon footprint of this house, we reduced our need for artificial lighting during the day. Interior clerestory and transom windows allow the rooms to 'borrow' light from each other.
