PRISPA is a house that could help you have a healthy lifestyle
at a high level of comfort and
even save money, if considering the energy needs and maintenance
cost of the building.
We promote an alternative for the alert urban life, while having
either a job that could be easily
done at home as well as using professional abilities to fill the
gaps in rural communities, such as
teaching, medical activities, agriculture or small tourism
business. The house can be used as a
family vacation home or for touristic purposes, in order to
promote new ways of spending
holydays.
Our goal was to achieve balance between minimum necessary space,
contemporary comfort
and price. The architectural footprint is about 70 sqm,
including all the functions one family
needs (living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom,
reading/working space, bedroom, storage
space) with the possibility of adding another night module or
dividing the existent area. The
house is made out of ecologic OSB, massive wood, mineral wool,
zinc sheet, metal joints. For
finishes, we used wood, stone, ceramics and clay. Thus, the
materials are easy to get in any
region, affordable and comply with the health and comfort
concerns.
Furthermore, the energy needs for the entire house could be
covered by using only
photovoltaic and solar panels. The consumption has been reduced
as much as possible by using
a smart design that combines technology with simple physics
principles, such as thermal mass,
material properties, solar control, airflow, light reflection
and many more.
PRISPA House is affordable, comfortable, easy to build,
adaptable, context wise and
environmental friendly. In terms on sustainability, we provide a
market viable house that
complies with all contemporary comfort standards and has a
reduced environmental impact.
The whole design of the building, both technical solutions and
the architectural approach, is
based on the idea that the house must be easy to build, use and
maintain. s

In Bucharest, Romania, the house produces 9501 kWh/year, while
the estimated energy
consumption is 7508.11 kWh/year. Simple calculations would lead
to the conclusion that, with
the right systems implemented, the energy production covers all
the maintenance and electricity
bills. In numbers, in Bucharest, you will have an extra 1992
kWh/year, which is 20% more energy
than you can consume for normal use.
Batteries could be an option if youre looking to make your house
autonomous, but they imply
extra costs. On the long term, real efficiency comes from
connecting the house to a smart grid.
That means the extra energy is redistributed to this electrical
grid and you can either use it later,
when the sun is not so strong, or you can sell it to the
government or energy company.
