Slanted wooden louvres offer natural light and cross-ventilation in the prefabricated house in Costa Rica, which architecture studio A-01 created as a prototype for a series of future zero-carbon homes.

No Footprint House was prefabricated in the Central Valley of Costa Rica before being transported to its site in Ojochal, a small village located in the Puntarenas province.

傾斜的木製百葉窗在哥斯達黎加的預製房屋中提供自然採光和通風,該建築是由A-01建築工作室創建的,它是一系列未來零碳房屋的原型。

在哥斯達黎加中部山谷沒有預製房屋,然後運往位於蓬塔雷納斯省一個小村莊奧約查爾的土地。

With the climate of its tropical setting and the aim to emit as little carbon as possible both in mind, the house is designed to have its climate passively controlled, meaning it does not rely heavily on artificial heating or cooling.

Slanted walls provide solar shading and are covered in slender slats that act like large blinds, opening or closing to allow cross ventilation. The outer screens are motorised so that they can fold up completely.

考慮到其熱帶環境的氣候以及旨在盡可能減少碳排放的目標,該房屋旨在被動地控制其氣候,這意味著它不再嚴重依賴人工供暖或製冷。

傾斜的牆壁提供了遮陽效果,並被細長的板條覆蓋,這些板條的作用就像大百葉窗一樣,可以打開或關閉以實現交叉通風。 外屏風是電動的,因此可以完全折疊。

“The slanted skin decreases the direct impact of sunlight and precipitation, which protects the elevated floorplan from overheating and splashing water,” A-01 said.

“Facade panels can be opened or closed individually in order to regulate views and exposure, augment or reduce air flows, create privacy and security.”

No Footprint House is linked to the local electricity and water networks, which A-01 said are almost completely powered by renewable energy, while solar panels are used to heat the water on-site in order to save energy.

A-01 placed all the services, like machinery, bathrooms, kitchen and laundry area, in a volume in the centre of the floor plan to create a single link point.

A-01說:“傾斜的皮膚減少了陽光和降水的直接影響,從而保護了升高的平面圖,防止過熱和濺水。”

“立面面板可以單獨打開或關閉,以調節視野和暴露度,增加或減少空氣流通,創造隱私和安全性。”

A-01說,幾乎沒有腳印屋與當地的電力和水網絡相連,後者幾乎完全由可再生能源供電,而太陽能電池板則用於現場加熱水以節省能源。

A-01將所有服務(例如機械,浴室,廚房和洗衣區)放置在平面圖中心的某個空間中,以創建單個鏈接點。

“This keeps the service lines short and contributes to our overall savings in terms of embedded energy and material usage,” it added.

The house was also transported to site on a single truck, saving construction workers from travelling from Central Valley to the building site regularly.

它補充說:“這使服務線縮短,並為我們在嵌入式能源和材料使用方面的總體節省做出了貢獻。”

房屋也通過單輛卡車運到現場,從而使建築工人免於定期從中央山谷到建築工地。

“Our prefabrication logistics in that central valley requires only a short time of the workers on-site and thus implies maximized efficiency with the material and worker transportation,” A-01 said.

The house’s prefab structure is composed of an elevated steel grid measuring 12 by nine metres raised on concrete foundations, and columns that form a second layer inside the inclined exterior walls.

A-01說:“我們在中央山谷的預製物流僅需要很短的現場工人時間,因此可以最大程度地提高材料和工人的運輸效率。”

房屋的預製結構由高高的鋼格構成,高12格,高9米,高聳在混凝土基礎上,圓柱則在傾斜的外牆內形成第二層。

Inside, an open-plan living area including a living and dining area, two bathrooms, two bedrooms and a terrace is arranged around the central service core.

Additional features, like storage, and the bed frames are designed to slot in between structural columns.

內部,一個開放式起居區,包括起居和用餐區,兩間浴室,兩間臥室和一個露台,圍繞中央服務核心佈置。

附加功能(如儲物)和床架設計為可插入結構柱之間。

Also known as NFH-108, the house forms part of A-01’s mission to develop carbon-neutral construction in Costa Rica. It previously worked with Dutch architecture firm OMA to create a carbon-neutral roadmap in 2010, that was later modified and then ratified by the national government in 2018.

NFH-108 is the first iteration of No Footprint House, a project that it intends to create a prefab house with a zero-carbon footprint. According to the A-01, this version has 40 per cent less carbon emissions than a typical Costa Rican house of the same size.

這座房子也被稱為NFH-108,是A-01在哥斯達黎加發展碳中和建築的使命的一部分。 它先前與荷蘭建築公司OMA合作,於2010年制定了碳中和路線圖,後來被國民政府修改並於2018年批准。

NFH-108是No Footprint House的第一版,該項目旨在創建一個零碳足蹟的預製房屋。 根據A-01的說法,此版本的碳排放量比典型的相同大小的哥斯達黎加房屋減少40%。

The second iteration is already underway and A-01 said it will achieve a 60 per cent reduction, with changes such as swapping the steel for a locally sourced laminated teak wood that the studio’s engineers developed with a Swiss-Costa Rican company.

According to A-01, additional reductions will be made through changes to the prefabrication chain and certain material selections that will save another 20 per cent of emissions.

This is in line with the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), which assesses the environmental impacts of a project throughout its life cycle, that it A-01 presented at the international climate conferences by the United Nations (the Pre-COP25 in Costa Rica and the COP25 in Madrid) last year.

第二輪迭代已經在進行中,A-01表示將減少60%,並進行了一些改變,例如將鋼片換成由當地工程師與瑞士哥斯達黎加公司合作開發的本地層壓柚木。

根據A-01的說法,將通過更改預製鍊和某些材料選擇來進一步減少排放量,這將另外節省20%的排放量。

這與A-01在聯合國國際氣候大會(哥斯達黎加COP25大會和2009年聯合國氣候大會)上對項目的整個生命週期的環境影響進行評估的生命週期評估(LCA)一致。 去年在馬德里召開的COP25)。

In the final No Footprint House, the remaining 20 per cent of emissions will be offset by the production of local energy.

The intention is that once finalised this design will be used for three different pre-designed housing structures – including a “tiny” 36-square-metre version, a mid-size 81-square-metre version, and family home measuring 108 square metres.

Other versions can also be customised in since based on the established grid size and materials from a catalogue – a feature A-01 said is the first of its kind in Central America.

在最後的“無足蹟之家”中,剩餘的20%的排放將被當地的能源生產所抵消。

目的是最終確定該設計將用於三種不同的預先設計的房屋結構–包括“微型” 36平方米版本,中型81平方米版本和108平方米的家庭住宅 。

由於基於已建立的網格尺寸和目錄中的材料,也可以自定義其他版本-A-01表示該功能在中美洲尚屬首次。

No Footprint House is longlisted in the rural house category of Dezeen Awards 2020.

The project is among a number aiming to reduce the carbon footprint of houses, as architects address the climate crisis and environmental impact of the building industry by designing carbon-neutral buildings and carbon-negative buildings.

Examples include Parc Hadau, a net-zero-carbon housing scheme that Loyn & Co has proposed for Wales; and a home in Victoria, Australia that absorbs more carbon than it emits, designed by Clare Cousins Architects.

沒有腳印屋入選2020年Dezeen獎的鄉村房屋類別。

該項目是旨在減少房屋碳足蹟的眾多項目之一,因為建築師通過設計碳中和建築物和碳負建築物來解決氣候危機和建築業對環境的影響。

例如,Parc Hadau,Loyn&Co為威爾士提出的零碳淨住房計劃; 由克萊爾·考辛斯建築師事務所(Clare Cousins Architects)設計的澳大利亞維多利亞州的房屋吸收的碳比排放的碳更多。
