Sustainable Architecture

Welcome to my personal project website!

For my personal project, I decided to choose 'Sustainable Architecture' as my topic. Growing up, architecture was always a passion of mine, and I wanted to expand upon it, so I decided to incorporate sustainability! This project is a continuation of a personal journey I started back in 2015 during my Fifth-grade exhibition.

I used 'Sketchup', a 3D designing software to create two sustainable house designs. Each house has a different budget and targets. Additionally, each house comes with floorplans and realistic renders generated through 'Vray'.

Please visit the interactive walkthrough below!

What makes a house sustainable?

A sustainable house has an environmentally friendly design that uses renewable energy sources to fuel the house. The energy-efficient design reduces energy consumption and overall maintenance costs. Essentially, it is dependent on itself and aims to reduce negative environmental impacts.

For example;

  • Both houses use durable and eco-friendly materials such as recycled wood and cement.

  • The big windows and rainwater harvesting system reduce electricity and water consumption.

  • The solar panels generate the majority of the house's electricity.
