Sustainable House Design on an artificial island - Blue House by FARO Architecten
The Blue House was designed by architect Dutch Pieter Weijnen FARO Architecten. It is located on Steigereiland, one of seven artificial islands of dredged IJ Lake Amsterdam IJburg. Its color recalls the deep blue waters that surround it and that is how it got its name. The house designed with a sustainable use of energy in mind. The large south façade allows plenty of light and heat. The cooling system is inspired by old Arab cooling towers. House air is pumped into an underground pipe from which the cooled air will be brought home. Rainwater is reused for toilets and washing machine. The building is constructed of wood and recycled materials. The beams of the facade are old terminals IJ Lake. The copper plates hanging on the living room are a church roof
