The site is located at the highpoint of an ancient sand dune, eight blocks away from the Pacific Ocean. Piles of sand from excavation are transformed into building material on-site. The sand was cleaned and filled in one pocket of dual-chamber polycarbonate where the second pocket is left filled with air.
This mundane yet durable agri-industrial material, filled with sand and air is a low-tech building façade for the house of sand. Realizing that sand has a remarkable thermal quality to absorb and contain solar heat, our intent was to utilize inherent benefits of earth and nature in order to minimize energy and building material consumption.
Energy collected by the sand-filled chamber is ventilated outward through the hollow second chamber of the polycarbonate before entering the structure . This reflects approximately 30% reduction in energy use for cooling over ASHRAE 90.2 baseline.
Sand panels are of flame resistant polycarbonate material that melts without igniting and the sand released from the melted chambers prevents fire from spreading by smothering nearby areas. This would make these panels an ideal building material for areas with wildfires, as prevalent in California
