THE GLASS OF THE WINDOWS CAN
LARGELY CONTRIBUTE TO THE THERMAL
AND ACOUSTIC INSULATION.
“La Casa del Desierto” is a pioneering project by Guardian Glass
that challenges nature to test its glass solutions. By designing
such an innovative house, Guardian Glass seeks to demonstrate
how, by choosing the right glass, the house remains liveable
even in the most adverse climate environments. The glass of
the windows can largely contribute to the thermal and acoustic
insulation, it can help protect from UV rays, as well as improving
security against theft or intrusion attempts.
In terms of its architectural structure, “La Casa del Desierto” is built
on a wooden base that is enveloped by the Guardian Glass glass
enclosure; inside, glass partitions create a bedroom, bathroom
and living-kitchen area. A large space directly overlooking the
landscape, La Casa also has a water filtration system, an energy
generation system and a set of photovoltaic panels.
The design, the result of the combined work of a large and
experienced team of architects - led by Spela Videcnik of OFIS
Architects - together with Guardian Glass glass specialists and
engineers and the energy consultants of Akt II and Transsolar,
meets the current and future challenges of the architecture and
construction sectors, in promoting environmentally friendly and
energy efficient structures.
