SKYCO Shading Systems

1. Small House: Solar Decathlon Rules limit the conditioned square footage of the house to be between 600 and 1000 square feet of conditioned space.

The GROW Home has 871 square feet of conditioned space.

559 SF 312 SF

2. Expandable: The GROW Home should be able to expand, not only to make the home more spacious feeling, but also to connect indoor living space with the outdoor context. This is done through an investigation of thermo-climatic, vegetative, and material flows.

The GROW Home has large openings to the south and west that enable flows to expand from interior to exterior, and vice versa.

The site design creates a transition from the private home to the public realm of an urban context.

3. For Cold Climate The GROW Home must be an ultra-efficient home for its 100 year life in Buffalo, post-competition.

The Growlarium serves as a Solar Gain Space that: A) Provides a thermal buffer between outside and inside.

B) Acts as an incubator for growing plants.

4. For Hot Climate The GROW Home must be an ultra-efficient home to perform well in the Solar Decathlon in Irvine, California.

The Growlarium serves as a shading structure that: A) Expands the working and relaxing spaces of the home B) Acts as a trellis for growing additional plants

5. For Urban Farming Buffalo hosts the largest garden walk in the nation, and urban farming in Buffalo has reversed the effects of urban neglect and population loss by revitalizing neighborhoods in the region.

The Growlarium serves as an urban farming hub by enabling plant growth in all seasons and is operated in conjunction with extensive landscaping intended for food production.

6. Replicable + Flexible An inexpensive house that can be replicated and sited anywhere around the world, regardless of the climate.
