Earth cover
The house is covered by a layer of soil that insulates it, evens out temperature swings and protects the shell from sun and frost.
- Infrared panelsElectric radiant panels that warm a particular room in a few minutes. They top up the heating during short cold spells; they are not the main source of heat.
- Wood-burning stoveA heat source that does not depend on the grid. In a house with this much thermal mass, it is enough to get through the coldest days.
- Timber interior surfacesWood on the walls, ceilings or floors, as a counterpoint to the concrete.
The garage can become a room.
Arrange the interior as you like, including turning the 23 m² garage into living space. It is thermally separated from the house. The living room is 23 m², another room 19 m². Heating is by radiant panels and a stove.
