A Pre-fabricated house which integrates perfectly into the environment and is half the price of a conventional home has been designed by the Spanish architect Luis del Garrido.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.barcelonareporter.com/index.php?/news/comments/a_spanish_architect_creates_the_green_home_a_ground-breaking_design/"><DIV>
His design, called Green Box, takes only two weeks to assemble and hardly uses any energy or generates any waste, making the most of a bioclimatic design and using geothermal and solar energy. An underground chamber cools air in summer and warms it in winter, and glass walls facing south act as heating for the water system.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.barcelonareporter.com/index.php?/news/comments/a_spanish_architect_creates_the_green_home_a_ground-breaking_design/"><DIV>
Its modular design means that as well as a home the box can become an office, apartments, museum or exhibition area, it can be expanded, reduced and changed at any time in a simple fashion, and all components are re-usable. A team of five people is all that is needed to build the property in 15 days.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.barcelonareporter.com/index.php?/news/comments/a_spanish_architect_creates_the_green_home_a_ground-breaking_design/"><DIV>A Spanish architect creates ‘The Green Home’ a ground-breaking design.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E789A340-5239-4626-BBAF-E526A632E1DE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
