Sliding home the second changes the mood of the walls

We have a case where the exterior is deceptive. Look at this building from afar - I just shed some. Windows-loopholes, nekrashenye logs, and in general - a primitive form. But should you click, and exposes the secret to the audience filling: split into several parts of the cozy and bright home with large living room, conservatory.

The British company dRMM Architecture has spent several years in design and erection of Suffolk unusual cottage, called "Sliding Home". Customer Russell Ross wanted to get something not too fussy, but at the same time, advanced and innovative. To make it convenient, and unusual ecological.

And so it went. Some time ago, a happy new settler entered into a unique construction, and March 3, 2009 Alex de Rijk, chap dRMM, introduced Sliding House in London at the exhibition and conference on "green" architecture Ecobuild.

His colleagues on the shop and told the guests de Rijk, as innovation and creative thought flight can be connected to energy-efficient buildings "small forms". And "green" theme was tied to the Sliding House was not by chance. This cottage of his main sponsors - the Alex, and Gonsalves Joana - thought not for the sake of epatazha. While, admittedly, come home is impressive when you see it in action.

Sliding House deliberately "painted" in the style of local farms and the like from afar because of a shed or barn. In fact, Sliding House - these are three separate buildings, of the total concrete foundation: the main house, outhouse and garage. The first two built in one line (along the roof ridge) and the garage moved sideways so that almost touches the corners of them. Between the three blocks formed a small courtyard.

Zest same house - its outer shell mobile.

In addition to the main walls of the three building blocks of all the additional roof covers the top, combined with additional same walls. They also performed a few openings for windows and doors, only to behold notches are not necessarily tied to these doors and windows. After all, this "cap Pena" can move along the main axis of the building to many meters, with the ability to stop in any position.

Effectively. The owner may, at its taste, according to the weather, mood, time of day or year, change the degree of openness of the house. To make it to the castle, preserving heat, or substitute the same living room, conservatories (which is associated with a greenhouse because of the full glass walls and roof), under the rays.
