Lumina house
Lumina house is a project of a functional single family house, which aims to make the best use of natural light and create the setting for good life. It has been thought as an approach towards housing sustainability.
The sunlight contributes with passive solar energy through the south and east faced windows and you benefi t directly from the resources of nature. Unpleasant overheating in the summer is avoided by using awning blinds in combination with airing. To go a step further in using the energy of the sun, solar panels contribute to the heating of the water for the household. The degrees saddle roof faces south east so the thermal solar panels are put to full use.
The combination of supplying air through façade windows and leading the exhaust air out the highly placed roof windows results in effective ventilation of the air in the living areas of the house. The window layout in LUMINA HOUSE is well suited for using natural ventilation in the summertime to cool the building because of the stack effect between façade windows and roof windows.
The energy quality of a house is a step towards sustainability in living. With introduction of VELUX solar panels, natural ventilation through VELUX roof windows, floor heating and good insulation, LUMINA house is a holistic solution in contemporary energy-balanced architecture.

The simple qualities of LUMINA house are most evident in the façades. This modest, but elegant exterior design with pitched roof, has clear connections with the archetype of a family house. In accordance with the idea of letting the garden into the house or expanding the house into the garden, the façades open to the green surroundings with terraces and big vertical windows.

Few people realize that poor lighting is detrimental to the general atmosphere, not to mention the electricity bill. Why pay for the artifi cial light, when you get daylight for free?
In whiteness. Choosing light colour for window frames, linings, fl ooring and on the wall, lets daylight reflect into the interior. To achieve many different ‘light zones’ in the living room, a combination of various levels and directions of daylight intake is proposed. The whole feeling of comfort in the space changes next to, in front of or above façade windows, terrace doors or roof windows. Each part of the home gets its own character,
view, lighting and materials.
Following daylight research carried out by the architects, each space in the house has been considered independently in terms of its orientation according to sun and natural light needs for different home activities. Meanwhile, following the research of a more functional division of spaces, the ground fl oor and upper fl oors show a modern and open-space way of living with the open kitchen and living space leading directly to the terrace and garden. A generous spaciousness, fi lled with light and insights into the garden, characterizes the ground floor plan.
The open space of daytime area with living room, dining room and kitchen is only partly divided by semi walls to create a feeling of functional and light spaciousness. With a possibility for connecting terraces both with kitchen or living room, the daytime area might become an attractive open space in the summer time.

Roof windows over the staircase provide plenty of daylight on the stairs. The refl ections onto the fl oor defi ne the width of the staircase.
