It is the season of gifting 🎅🏻 so I am doing a 30 threads for 30 days challenge about solarchitecture: 🌞 Here they are neatly ordered one by one: 1. Sunlight, Fresh Air, Living spaces

@benmagelsen I agree but it has not been solved so far.

@dvassallo I don't think this is healthy, would be better with dim to warm function but nice marketing, I agree.

@made_in_cosmos @visakanv The power law won't change and scarcity will exist but everyone will be better off, provided they learn to care for their mental hygiene and can socially (re)connect. Otherwise is degeneration all the way down for the proportion of 4). But I am a relentless optimist.

3 Things 1. Economies of scale - In order to be profitable as investment, large batches of the same design should be ordered, I reckon 30+ homes. 2. Within the whole scope of building the prefab part is only the superstructure, parts of the roof, facade and some services that are included. They all need manual finish at the joints. The rest, 100% of sitework, 80% of interior finishes and final services-plumbing is still completely "conventional". That fancy steel structure underneath took one whole month, I'm sure. So the final time reduction is not from 6 months to 1 week or something, but more like to 2-3 months. I am not at all against it, I am using CLT for most of new builds but factory-modular is not that good on all fronts. 3. B2C clients, families that go to such solutions, finally abandon it because they always want something unique or/and extra that disrupts the assembly line or the design. +Bonus: The boxy appeal turns a lot of people (cultures) off instantly.

@JulieChangRE I like how the bones of the house blend with the kitchen furniture, the big openings. The 3 timber species (structure, funiture, floor) are all different so there is a bit much texture/color variance. But hey this is very hard to pull off, I know!

@JulieChangRE I agree, it is one of my core principles. But these huge doors are surely motorised? I did some big 8x8 ft doors in the past and the conclusion was they are very hard to operate manually - esp. for the women of the house so I started to break them up into smaller panes.

@zentheos_ @hanslorei Thank you 🙏

The mountains are silent. Yet their abundance tells a lot about how few things we need, actually. (among the south Carpathian Mtns)

@dvassallo LOL.

@dvassallo Touching your timber regularly is known to lower blood pressure and regulate hr, I know from first hand experience. 😎

@mmeJen true.....

@mmeJen How bad could it be *if* the US is this bad???

RT @Build_Culture: The weight of cast brass in your hand tells you everything you need to know. It’s not just a finish—it’s a material with…

This is amazing

@JulieChangRE Great job, I salute the effort. Just wished they kept more textures (wood) alive and some more saturated colours.

@SolBrah I used a full body infra sauna a couple of times and definitely felt that it has an effect at a deeper layer than trad saunas. Both good obv, but in completely different ways.
