The house explores the maximum of light, space, ventilation and views on a tight sight. Tony Owen Partners are exploring a more environmentally sensitive form of design called ‘micro design’. Micro design utilize parametric modelling software which can respond to very small changes to design input criteria. In this case issues such as maximum ventilation, views and efficiency of structure and minimal impacts to neighbour views and overshadowing were the key design criteria. The house has a fluidity of space which is a direct result of having a strong relationship with the surrounding landscape. In a traditional house the floor and walls are built first and the roof is added. The Moebius House is being assembled around a chasis like a car would be.
