Ignatov Architects’ Super Efficient Solar Equinox Passivhaus Tracks the Sun
It can be argued that great architectural design is about relationships -
light, land, human, and environmental needs all must be aligned for a
project to excel. Ignatov Architects’ Equinox House answers all these needs with a celestial vision and Passive House performance. The home is deeply integrated with its site near the shore and close to the town Kavarna in Bulgaria. A sloped window
set to the angle of the summer solstice transforms the home's interior
into a measure of the seasonal waxing and waning of the sun. This facade
also dramatically improves the performance of the house with huge
windows overlooking the Black Sea.
