Sahara Eco-House

The idea of the project is based on a clear desire to adapt to such an inhospitable environment as the desert; To blend in with the surroundings and take advantage of the disadvantages of this place are the key points of the project.

In this way we make use of natural agents through fogcatching towers, vertical structures located in the common spaces designed to collect drinking water from the air, as well as a fabric cover that integrates high-efficiency ultra-thin photovoltaic cells and allows us to obtain energy from renewable origin in a fast and sustainable way. 

In the design of houses and common spaces, indigenous materials (wood and textile fabrics) have been used, trying to achieve a perfect integration with the environment. The organic form of all volumes allows great flexibility in terms of use and distribution, and greater use of space.
