capture passive solar energy
and to avoid heat radiation
to the north, the architect
maximized the windows facing
south and west and reduced
the number and size of north
facing windows. At the same
time, he planned a natural
insulation in the roof; the solar
radiation slowly picks up high
outdoor temperatures so that
the underlying living rooms are
not heated up uncomfortably.
All rooms have a floor heating
system.

Opting for a pre-fabricated
house meant that Mrs Frankel
did not have to take care of
the project very much herself.
Working with German builders
and skilled professionals turned
out to be unique. The main
difference between a Baufritz
home and a conventional UK
build is the superb quality.
The components are fully
recyclable– strictly following
the philosophy of cradle to
cradle.
