Heat-Resisting Homes

Ferrer & Zraid Arquitectos Designed an Open Home That's Safe from the Sun

— October 10, 2016 — World
Ferrer & Zraid Arquitectos is the architecture agency that's behind 'Casa LL2,' a heat-resisting home that's meanwhile highly modern and refreshingly open.

As it's located in Venezuela, the temperatures that can be reached in peak season are best avoided, however that doesn't mean that people want to find themselves hiding indoors all day either. This is what the heat-resisting design put forth by Ferrer & Zraid Arquitectos considers, as it enables the inhabitants of the home to relax outside without having the hot rays of the sun beating down on them.

Not only does this make the home more appealing to spend time in, but also contributes to the vastness of the interior -- which features an expansive open-plan design that's complemented by large windows.
Trend Themes
1. Heat-resisting Design - Opportunity for architects and designers to create innovative solutions that protect against extreme heat while still providing a comfortable and open living space.
2. Open-plan Design - Demand for homes with open-plan layouts and large windows, allowing for natural light and a sense of spaciousness.
3. Outdoor Living Spaces - Growing interest in designing outdoor areas that are shielded from intense sunlight, providing a comfortable and inviting space for relaxation and entertainment.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Opportunity for architects to incorporate heat-resistant materials and designs into residential and commercial buildings, creating comfortable and energy-efficient spaces.
2. Home Construction - Demand for innovative solutions and materials in constructing heat-resisting homes with open-plan layouts and expansive windows.
3. Interior Design - Opportunity to design interior spaces that seamlessly integrate with open-plan layouts and make the most of natural light.
