Middle East Passive House
A home that re-connects its occupants with ancestral traditions
This all-electric Passive House for a confidential location in the Middle East is a refined house that embraces mud brick construction – an ancient traditional construction method that uses an abundant local material that has been characteristic of the region for millennia. As such this harmonious house rejects Western stylistic influences and re-connects its occupants with ancestral traditions and the beauty of the natural world.
The house will be even better than net-zero in embodied and operational energy. It will generate far more energy each year than it requires, while maintaining a cool, comfortable and healthy indoor environment.
Houses like this can generate, store and supply energy for the long-term sustainable infrastructure of the region, including transport, agriculture and industry.
Due to the abundance of solar power, well-insulated buildings made from natural, fire-proof materials can be the most comfortable, healthy and sustainable homes in the world. Completely non-polluting this house is a gift to future generations.
