Food-sustainable eco-house in Petrovaradin, Novi Sad
Project Overview:
The design of the eco-house in Petrovaradin, Novi Sad, centers around a winter garden, which serves as both a design and functional focal point of the residence. This winter garden acts as a dynamic space that seamlessly integrates the living and sleeping areas, offering a versatile environment that adapts to the changing needs of the household.
Design Concept:
The winter garden is meticulously planned to function as a central hub, connecting the day and night zones of the house. Its role extends beyond traditional gardening; it incorporates sustainable and ecological principles, contributing to the overall food-sustainability of the home. The garden not only enhances the house's environmental performance but also provides a multifunctional space for seasonal events and everyday living.
Functional and Aesthetic Integration:
Central Focal Point: The winter garden is the primary design element, creating a harmonious link between the various areas of the house.
Versatile Use: It facilitates a wide range of activities, including gardening, family gatherings, celebrations, dining, and even sleeping, depending on the season and needs of the occupants.
Sustainability: The garden supports the eco-house's sustainability goals by providing a space for growing food, which reduces the household's carbon footprint and promotes a self-sufficient lifestyle.
This innovative approach not only emphasizes ecological responsibility but also enhances the livability and versatility of the home, ensuring that the space is both functional and enjoyable throughout the year.
