Fujy House: Sustainable architecture in Spain

fujy4sm.jpg

We often gripe about green buildings that have “no edge, no, buzz, no style� often “populated by the self-righteous and the badly dressed� Italian architect Luca Lancini practices sustainable architecture exclusively, and his Fujy House definitely has style. He realises that there is more to sustainability than just systems and materials, it must have:

  • Goodness: social and environmental awareness
  • Beauty: choice of contemporary languages that meet aesthetic and functional requirements
  • Benefit: the ability to create plans at competitive costs with low maintenance and operating costs
  • Passive solar, certified wood, careful ventilation and non-toxic recycled materials don’t hurt.

Dampproofing and Waterproofing - January 25th, 2006

More preliminary work prior to the framing of the first level. The contractor has just applied the Soprema bitumen waterproofing membranes. This material will keep the structure waterproof below grade.

More pictures from January 25th, 2006 are online in the gallery.
