Passive house

[Christine]

but the idea of ​​the house underground, the roof would not be made of earth ...

What I meant to say is that this kind of house (buried with earth roof) already exists.

Why not have a glass roof? but isn't there a risk of problems with thermal leaks, maintenance, etc.?

[pluesy]

you make a large double-walled glass bottle 15 m in diameter and ten meters high, the double wall being filled with straw you bury half of the bottle the other half you cover it with the extracted earth to bury the first part you put an elevator or a staircase in the neck of the water heated by the sun in the bottom between the two you arrange as you want you have a super invisible quazi house which will last at least 1000 years ...

Uh, I don't really know how to answer you for the moment, but I'm on land that belongs to my family and if I can buy it not too expensive, I go to an architect to see the cost of the work ,,, (my beautiful brother is a building contractor so I could take advantage of some material and labor prices at a democratic price ,,,)

I will keep you informed of the architect's data if this materializes

Hello
use your common sense and do without the architecture and you already have 50/100 savings

yes i suspect, but there are so many things to think about in a house without counting the resistance of the materials although my beauf can help me considering his job ,,,, and the plans should not be signed by architect?

finally i will qd even try without before and see if i get there i have a friend technical draftsman and a beautiful brother team leader of macon we have to get there

oops i realize i divert the purpose of this forum on the passive house well come on I stop talking about the house in the basement,

Obligation to go through an architect, from an area of ​​150 m2.

the buried house is great for the wine cellar !! hips

I agree with ZAC. design your house yourself. Why ? because an architect will want to make a house according to the facade, instead of making it according to your lifestyle, when that is what matters. In particular, they do not take into account the movements in the house that must be done for the laundry, return the shopping etc ..., and do not seek to reduce them.

Then go and see them for calculations, ventilation etc ... and the permit if necessary.

Tomorrow I have an appointment to see the price of the land if it is correct (finally in my budget) I am embarking on the design of the construction plan (especially that it's been months that I think about it and that the internal design I I already almost finished it remains more than to draw it), if that is done I will open a forum on this subject (otherwise I would continue to improve my current house ,,,
thank you all for the advice
