Nus

Nus is a residential house located in Crete, Greece. A U shaped main volume is combined with an underground guest house. Both volumes maximize southeast exposure and respond to the changing angle of the sun through the seasons. Two solar spaces, one with fixed shading and one with rotating blinds and a mass wall, allow natural heating and cooling. A green roof, water surfaces, a ventilation shaft and controlled roof openings improve thermal comfort. Photovoltaic panels, solar water heaters and a geothermal system reduce the energy footprint.
