This is a project for a very small office, supposed in the campus Bovisa Politecnico.
The basic dimension are 2,5m x 5m, and everything has to be "sustainable".
The structure is a sort of baloon frame, wood, very light, to be filled with prefabricated panels already isolated with natural wool.
On the Southern side there is a green house, with the entrance and the circular metallic stairs to the upper floor.
On the Northern side there are no windows, except for a clerestory receiving the light from the South and redistributing that in a uniform way on the work area.
Only one fixed window on the West, and 3 + 1 that can be opened on the East (the smallest one is for the bathroom).
Natural ventilation is guaranteed South to North (greenhouse>clerestory) and East to West (there are special hatches inside the walls, with filters for the polluted air, to be opened when requested).
Above there is the table of details for the horizontal section -West facade- on the left, and the vertical section -Est facade- on the right.
The long side vertical section shows some detils for the clerestory, walls and floor. It is also visible the only metallic structure of the Studio, the base, on wich everything is leaned.
The systems are thought to be reached with easyness, concentrating them in few parts of the Studio, avoiding non checkable areas.Next images shows, in order, the electric system and the main light points, natural (blue) and artificial (orange).Then the heating system (red) designed as a baseboard is very thin, to be used just in case the greenhouse cannot provide the needed heat (during the evening, during the winters...)
There are also water pipes (green) to collect the rain and to bring the water to the bathroom and from that to the drain.
Have you ever heard about the movie "Jour de fête (1949)" by Jaques Tati? I saw that last week and I really appreciated this scene, very simple. It's just the man of the marry-go-round, looking at the window of a girl he had seen that afternoon, in the main square of the village.
He is staying, for the day of the festival, in a caravan with his wife, but the young lady will keep him absent-minded for a quite a while, while preparing his stuff.It's a scene of few seconds, but everything is perfect and Tati only used two colours: blue and yellow, and two lights, one supposed natural (the moon) and the other artificial (from inside), maybe presenting two different types of living: the man is a nomad, but the girl has her house and her room.Could have that love ever worked?Just with two colours.----
And here you are another "pearl" from the same movie:
It's Tati himself, playing the main role (the postman of the village) excaping from a car of American policemen. After the displaying, at the temporary cinema, of a documentary of the new technologies used in the USA for the post delivery (elicopters, super-bikes, huge ships and whatever is needed to get the most efficent result) he wants to be as efficient as his colleagues.After a number of funny sketches, he tries to excape because he's riding his bicycle too fast, and the policemen want to stop him.But then, in the middle of the fields, he manages to run away simulating a mock telephone call (while riding...) using a phone that he should deliver to a lady.All the scene is an interesting project of landscape design, I suppose, natuaral but "directed" in an intelligent way.
This was made with my digital pen+tablet

Take it easy, it's only a joke..
