The Nano Living System: The Smallest Sustainable Nano House
Geschreven op 3-7-2010 - Erik van Erne. Geplaatst in Bouwen-Klussen
The best combination of many useful properties and intelligent solutions in housing has been found in the so called Nano House developed in the recent years by a group of engineers and researchers in the USA.
The Nano Living System utilizes a series of technologies to create flexible spaces and intelligently designed areas. The most popular is the “suspending system”. This allows the beds to be suspended, within the ceiling cavity, over couch in the living room and over the table in the dining room. To make this work efficiently in the dining room we have incorporated a dining room table that lowers and the chair backs fold down, providing a seamless flow throughout the system.
With multifunctional space solutions, a full size kitchen and bathroom the Nano Living System offers complete comfort within a small living space. The architecture and the furnishing of the Nano House meets and satisfies modern expectations as well as traditional Chinese feng shui accents that focus on will-being within the home. The living and work space used during the day can be transformed within minutes to provide 2 private comfortable bedrooms, both with king size beds.
When this system is used in our single family home, the Nano House, in can be incorporated with additional sustainable elements, such as our solar panels, rainwater collection system, and gray water recycling system to create a house with a minimal environmental impact and CO2 footprint.
If developing a single family house or a multi family development under 5 stories high our unique steel based SIP’s (structural insulated panels) can be used. Because of their design and construction they provide excellent structural strength and superior insulation rating. The Nano House is built using recycled and recyclable materials for a truly environmental friendly house.
