Eco Factor: Concept home designed to run on green energy.
Conceived by Italian designer Massimiliano Menegale for Materica Studio, the Stay Grounded is an eco-home that buries itself deep into the ground to make solar panels and microaeolic generators quite detectable on its green roof. While you see no windows on perimeter walls, these are, however, supplied with several light and air cannons to allow ample natural light and ventilation to 202.68 sqm home.
The concept home in Ferrara, Italy, will have an inner courtyard decked with beautiful trees. More such housing units could share a green energy hill among themselves. Geothermic systems, which go still deeper into the floors, take care of water/air supply at a constant temperature of 18-20 Celsius.
