La Casa Panarea
The linear building footprint runs along the front boundary maximising north orientation. Rammed earth front fences, shear curtains and vegetation help provide privacy while still maximising winter sun into the house. The living areas open to both north and south private outdoor spaces for year-round outdoor living. The linear house layout provides ideal north - south cross ventilation negating the need for artificial heating and cooling. The polished concrete floor and rammed earth blade walls provide excellent thermal mass while giving the house a unique character.
