ESPACE.CUBE

Après dix années de recherches, inspirées par les principes des cadrans solaires, sur les volumes susceptibles d’être engendrés par la trajectoire annuelle et journalière du soleil, le brevet d’invention de L'Heliodome est déposé en Janvier 2001 et délivré en Avril 2003. The passive solar house Heliodome is a fixed architectural volume. It’s position and shape are determined by the trajectory of the sun in its annual and daily cycle. The building embraces the sun's rays from sunrise to sunset, feeding on its energy and redistributing it in the form of living comfort. In this way, the Heliodome is, by its bioclimatic architecture, before all else a reconciliation of man with nature. The north face of the structure (the sloping roof) is designed by the trajectory of the sun during the winter solstice whereas during the summer solstice. the course of the sun follows the south facing glass façade.
