This is a project for an as-green-as-possible dance shed.

The selected materials are stone, timber, glass, fabric and polycarbonate.

​

A hardwood floor for better dancing.

​

A clear polycarbonate roof will help to collect and keep the energy from the sun.

​

​An air-ground geothermal system will bring temperature comfort to the building, although an auxiliary heating system may be necessary on the coldest days.

​

A ventilation system and a rolling shading fabric cover, over the polycarbonate roof, will make it comfortable on the hottest summer days.

Manual air inlets and outlets will be built in the side walls, allowing for air circulation and temperature control.

The glass doors on the front could be built with a glass/mirror system, allowing them to be turned into large mirrors when needed or to leave them as see-through doors.

Commonly, the coating is installed on the reflecting side facing outside. In that case, installing the reflective side facing in will increase the greenhouse effect. As the doors are north-facing, the system will not increase the temperature in hot weather.

​

A curtain hanging along the shed will divide the space to create a more private space.
 
The building will harvest rain falling on the roof, and it will filter it through gravel and sand, making it useful to flush the toilet.

The back wall of the building would have a built-in storage space and a built-in water tank.

​

Electricity should be connected to the main building.
