From Joris Verhoeven Architectuur

Energy-positive home with innovative biobased facade

This remarkable sustainable home is equipped with biobased insulation and a wooden facade
finished with fungus paint. The home's understated design and dark facade and roof make it not

only aesthetically appealing but also invisibly energy-neutral.

The project represents a significant step towards environmentally-friendly architecture. The
home's facade is constructed with wood and flax, biobased materials sourced from renewable

resources with a minimal ecological footprint. By utilizing these sustainable materials, the house

contributes to a reduction in CO2 emissions. Additionally, the vapor-open construction promotes a

healthy indoor climate. Such materials are expected to play an increasingly prominent role in the

building industry of the future.

What makes this project even more remarkable is the use of fungus paint on the facades. This
innovative paint is made from black molds and offers numerous advantages over traditional paints.

It is biodegradable and has no environmental impact. Moreover, the paint provides a unique

texture and appearance, enhancing the character of the house even further.

In addition to the sustainable facade, the house is entirely energy-neutral. Thanks to advanced
technologies in energy efficiency and a clever sun-oriented design, the home generates more

energy as it consumes. It incorporates solar panels, a heat pump, adjustable sunshades, and high

insulation values to minimize energy consumption. This not only results in lower energy costs for

the residents but also leads to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions throughout the lifespan of

the house.

As an architect, it is essential to make a positive contribution to the future of the industry. You
must look beyond traditional building methods and strive for innovative solutions that promote

sustainability. This project serves as an example of how a creative design and smart technologies

can contribute to a greener future
