Architecture: Water House

WATER HOUSE

On 11th  February, an architect designs a house with walls filled with water, with the hope that one day his invention will help reduce the energy needs of humanity.

"Imagine a building without insulation, but with a thermal indoor ideal thanks to the properties of water", he says.

The home, absorbing the properties of the environment through water and sent into adapting to the ideal temperature. Most of the building's walls are paneled double glass, water-filled voids that, when exposed to sunlight, absorbs the heat as you would a car battery.

Water restores the heat when the weather gets colder, as if a convector. In this way limits the need for external heat sources, and therefore energy consumption.

The concept of "home water " also allows a perfect isolation, although the walls are no longer than five centimeters thick, which also saves on construction materials.

"There is no other structure in which it is completely surrounded by water volumes connected to each other" he remember.

"And the water , using its natural properties, is capable of displacing the energy where it's needed  It absorbs, stores, heats, cools and balances the internal temperature" - he added.

And you, what do you think about that?

In my opinion it is a very interesting project. Over time it will be the advancement of science. We must care for and protect the planet's water, is the heart of the earth.
