The Hanging Gardens Villa
2019
The hanging gardens house is a large structure inspired by the idea of inhabitating a luxurious and exhuberant garden. A fractal star shaped structure with a large degree of variation while being highly organized in clusters of rooms with common areas in the ground floor level.
The idea of an inhabitated garden is created by a multilevel and inmersive structure of planters covering the perimeter and roof areas and hosting a collection of flowers, aromatic and hanging plants.
The garden will be taken care by a collection of gardening robots that move through a rail structure in the perimeter. These robotic arms are prepared for irrigating, croping, fertilising, and fumigating the garden according to their own sensoring devices as well as to environmental data on the internet. This system will minimise the maintenance of the garden while ensuring its splendour The railing system serves as an infraestructure for moving fotovoltaic panels that optimise the orientation for energy collection. The roof gardens provide thermal inertia, shading and perform water collection.
