Architecture Anywhere: Zero Energy-Ready Prefab Home

This Single-Family Residential project is intended to be one of the first Passivhaus Buildings in Guadalajara, Mexico, so it provides an appropriate environment for the users to stay at the top of their performance and also motivates other builders and architecture firms to implement Energy Efficient Design as a standard.

Main Facade

Responding to the need of a clean, fast and reliable construction system, the majority of the building elements are prefabricated so the building can be assembled in record time, and yet keep the functional and aesthetic features that make this project a must-have for those who are looking to reaping the benefits of living in an energy-efficient home.

Due to the space-saving feature and its modular design, this house is suitable for almost any kind of situation where you have at least a 7 x 25 m site, either sloped or flat.

Conveniently designed with a floor-to-ceiling height of 3m, this house allocates 2 floors and 1 basement, where the interior design options available can go pretty wide and varied.
