ZNETH



Design proposal for a Zero Net Energy Test House (ZNETH). Designs requested by architectural engineering students at Peter Kewitt Institute at the UNO campus from the architectural designers at the UNL College of Architecture with the possibility of a design being actually built.
No designs will be built as is. In fact, it would be shocking if the final structure resembles any of the student design proposals in any way.
Especially this one.

Site was in neighborhood just east of the PKI in Omaha, along Woolworth Street. Neighborhood context consisted of small 20's bungalow style houses.



Design focus on passive solar shading and heating on the exterior (louvers) as well as the residents experience of the interior space (the window-well slices through the whole house).
