WINDFARM HOUSE: Living with the wind
Project type
Residential energy design research
Date
March 2023
Location
Sydney, Australia
Living with the wind. Windfarm House imagines a home whose branching structure makes the surrounding air part of its identity.
Tubular steel members are conceived to support the dwelling while accommodating a network of small wind turbines and their wiring. The proposal brings energy infrastructure into the scale of domestic life, exploring a relationship between shelter and the forces passing around it.
This is a design investigation into distributed energy and residential form. The ambition is a home with an expressive environmental character; the amount of energy it could generate would be established through site-specific engineering and testing.
