A new home can provide vital functions by itself, without saving and water stations. Self-contained house is built in Valencia at the foot of the Sierra de Anger on a plot of 27,000 square meters, at an altitude of 780 meters above the sea level, according to ee24.com with reference to "Spain in Russian."
The architect of the building is Juan Marco. The building is located in such a way that its windows offer a great view of the valley. The work on the project began in 2008, and the result exceeded all the expectations. The house is equipped with a unique system of independent ventilation and air circulation. Architect named his unique project "House in the Forest" because it respects the environment and does not cause any harm to the nature except for, of course, cutting down a few trees around the building to prevent possible fires.
The design of the house is called "disconnected" because the conventional system of water and electricity, heating, water treatment works are offline. The house does not need to be connected to standard communications, as it uses solar and wind energy, special batteries, as well as rain water purification system.
Spain has long been concerned about the environmental problems caused by human activity, and the construction of such houses is associated with unusual concern for ordinary houses. On June 1, 2013, property owners in Spain are required to obtain a certificate of energy efficiency. The new law is intended to inform the public about the harm to the environment that can be caused by energy inefficient buildings.
