ARCHITECTURAL PROJECTS

The client is a high school teacher in Aachen (D) who wishes to build a “pied-à-terre” / “gîte” near the German border.  At the same time, as there is no certainty about the eventual coming of a new zinc mine nearby, the client wanted to have it completely dismountable and “take-away-ready”.
BLIEBERG A.C.E. made the design and the building permission, and will survey the works.

The design is entirely conceived as “design for disassembly”,  a concept from the “eco-design principles” of product designers.

• the foundations will be made of steel screws (without any cement)
• the floors, roofs and bearing walls will be entirely made of screwed lumber logs (engineered wood)
• the finishing of the facade is in charred wood and creme-coloured slates

Every item can be screwed loose and there will be no change in the landscape once dismantled to be moved.

Technical features:

• the ventilation and heating is mounted in a technical prefab box
• sewage will be done by a reed bed treatment
• drinking water will be supplied by a water well
• the aim is to have no connection to the electricity grid (to be investigated)
