Aguas de Marco is a conceptual house from XP& Architecture that combines modern design with eco-friendly innovations. The house is draped in orange shades that can be adjusted to control the temperature of the house.
Aguas de Marco is three stories and is completely covered in orange shades. The shades are adjustable and can be set at an angle to absorb heat or closed completely to block it out. When closed the shades block out the sun but are transparent from the inside. The three stories of the house consist of three bedrooms, one studio and four bathrooms. The house gets it unique name from a song of the same name from the artist Antonio Jobim. The songs inspiration comes from the waves breaking onto Venice Beach, California.
Why This Trend Is Growing
- Eco-friendly Architecture
- The use of eco-friendly materials and innovative design to create sustainable living spaces.
- Adjustable Thermal-cooling Technology
- The development of shades and blinds that can be adjusted to control the temperature of a building or room, reducing energy consumption and costs.
- Transparent Sun-shades
- The creation of sun-shades that are transparent from the inside but can block out the sun, providing privacy and temperature control while still allowing for natural light.
Industries Being Reshaped
