Villa Wood 5

This house is partially open vertically where the stairs come up through the natural ventilation and floors. The fresh air comes through the openable windows and is pulled out through the house skylights. This house is heated with the heat exchanger in winter, as well as the heating on all house floors. When the sunlight shines into the large open spaces, the passive solar heating occurs to the south and west.
