USER

Charlie is a composer of music, with a hedonistic life, a girls night (Company) and without obligation. Alan however, is divorced (Judith), has a son (Jake) has a steady job and a bright future. The house is visited in turn by the brothers' mother (Evelyn), which is not compatible with Charlie, and this in turn is incompatible with the "girls" that brings it home. Just as Jake can not be home when you visit his uncle, a matter of bad influences

ELEVATION B

the house of two and a half men is a perfect example of the ephemera land superficial relationships and hedonistic society of l.a., implanted in our plot portugal, even so this life based on sex and synthetic drugs is not compatible at all with certain specific aspects of family life. family life away from these lifestyles disruptive to the conduct that is intended to educate the new generations. this house is supposed to be a nexus, common point of these lifestyles simultaneously in the same space. several premises, reactions, rare compatibility relationships all these scenarios and contradictory situations in the same space and same time at once, lots of scenarios almost antonyms heterogeneous and contrary, under the same roof, the architecture aims to provide freedom and especially freedom home life, make them possible. a magical place to share, to life, to enjoy, in the fleeting romance, the impromptu party at sunset or in the real estate market fluctuations

The implementation strategy is based on preserving the rich ecosystem that exists in the area of influence of construction; therefore it was decided to raise the living area making not modify the natural terrain. It uses a structural system consists on a set of interlocking beams creating a vierendel skeleton where lie the housing modules. Thus reducing the foundation of the whole, small shoes (specific support), rather than sit completely on the ground (slab). The trees can grow and intermingle with the living without being altered.

The energy and water captured is stored in the (module attached to the common area) facilities which also proceed to supply and evacuation. The facilities are hidden in the soul of the beam structure (profile H).

The spatial structure is coated in turn with a metallic skin (mesh) that acts as a support for vegetation (deciduous native vine) providing housing and a lattice for the seasons spring / summer that provides moisture and cools the high space also is a plant with red flowers, which will provide the facade of strokes. At the autumn / winter, deciduous leaves naked to this mesh, allowing for greater solar gain.

The collection of solar energy is done through photovoltaic panels located on the exterior spaces inhabited upstairs. It is a safe investment because of the climate in which we and the coastal character of the area.

The collection of rainwater through the cover will be implemented in modules cistern, rain water (gray water) has been estimated that you can meet the grooming needs of the user The collection of solar energy is done through photovoltaic panels located on the exterior spaces inhabited upstairs. It is a safe investment because of the climate in which we and the coastal character of the area.

The system chosen for habitation modules will be constituted by a mechanism in which the temperature and the cooling of the housing will be covered by a vertical movement of the window frame wall that closes the air and increases the size of the span. This cover trombe transmits heat into the house and the increased size of the opening allows much more light to enter and solar energy (winter). By contrast, in summer the lower window frame wall opening the air will become airy and reducing the size of apertures, thus limiting the entry of light and dissipates heat gained by the envelope.
