CASA TURQUESA

Problem

The architect of Casa Turquesa wanted to ensure thermal comfort inside the house. Although the design was already advanced, upon analyzing the location, it was identified as a cold area, so it was necessary to implement strategies to help maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.

Solution

I conducted a bioclimatic study that revealed specific passive strategies for that location. We applied the recommendations — such as the use of thermal materials, solar orientation, and window insulation, among others — and today the house is warm, comfortable, and very pleasant to live in year-round.

Problem

It was necessary to determine how much water the new house would require and know what size of water tank would be appropriate to ensure a supply throughout the year. However, there was no clear data on its actual consumption or how to ensure the supply year-round.

Solution

I analyzed the water consumption of their previous home to project the water usage of the new one. With that data, I sized the water tank and proposed an annual supply strategy that combines rainwater harvesting and potable water. This way, we ensured an efficient, sustainable, and continuous supply.
