A self-sufficient modular house with a greenhouse constituting the central nucleus of the project. We are talking of a steel and glass greenhouse in various possible colours, in which the walls are insulated thermally and acoustically (insulating glass or insulating honeycomb panels). The size can be varied depending on the different requirements of the person using it. The greenhouse is then wrapped in a surface, which is mounted on a steel structure and can partially or completely cover the greenhouse below. The very fine surface with a sliding system can be made of different materials: PVC canvas, impermeable fabric or “camorcanna” (plaster and reeds). The double wall obtained in this way enables correct ventilation to be maintained inside the house and, in summer, it is able to protect from strong sunshine. In winter, on the other hand, the greenhouse can be used as a winter garden. The very economical house rests on a wooden base containing an external parquet floor. A series of glass and steel walls can be inserted inside to divide the rooms as required. Lastly, a system of small systems can be designed using photovoltaic panels connected to a battery and two small heating bodies, which generate an optimum requirement according to the size of the structure.
