Fulbeck Island, a 100% sustainable island project in Canada — Idealista/news

Fullback Islanda self-sufficient and energy-sustainable island project that will be built off the coast of Nova Scotia (Canada) with natural and innovative materials, such as moss, straw, hemp and 3D-printed cement, was presented by clothing brand Vollebak and architecture studio Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG).

In this regard, the website highlights the island as “the beginning of a series of exceptional projects that analyze how we will live the next century in a world characterized by climate change, space travel, and resource scarcity.” That’s why I designed it Architect Bjarke Engels“It offers a model for the future: a carbon-neutral complex built entirely off-grid, where the house and the island on which it is built come together to become a living, breathing ecosystem.”

The project also includes “Earth House” and “Wood House”. Independent suite With a garden on the east coast of the island.

Local architecture studio FBM is also involved in a project in which all parties confirm that natural and synthetic materials will be mixed. It should be noted that each component will be powered by sustainable energy sources. In addition, the island will be auctioned off later Concierge Auctions at Sotheby’s.

Specifically, the “Earth House” takes its name from its composition, because the group of buildings that make it up resembles a city. Therefore, it is located right in the center of the island, with open spaces for socializing, as well as a fusion of nature and design. All buildings will be powered by wind, geothermal and solar energy, and all energy produced will be stored in the city’s storage system.

Inside the “Earth House” we will find A Lounge And a Dinner room Made of weather-resistant and insulated straw. It will also have four bedrooms made of fireproof hemp cement or 3D printed natural stone and bathroom Japanese style, with bathtubs carved into the rock. Finally, it will have space for a swimming pool with a glass roof that will allow you to stargaze.

For its part, the “wooden house” will be an independent structure Two bedrooms and two bathroomsWith an exterior made entirely of wood, it is essential for extreme weather conditions. Its facade opens to the sea thanks to a triangular glass window eight meters high.
