Structure:
A
reinforced concrete
roof circular and
hollowed out in the center to act as
well
of light
,
supports also various elements which ensure in whole or part the
autonomy of the dwelling
.
It rests on 7 interdependent posts between them and thus dividing
space into 7 sectors.
The posts
connected to the higher part by
a
lintel supports the technical passages (water, electricity,
telephone, network, etc....). Each post hollowed out in the center,
allows
the water run-off of rain towards
the reserves in basement. . In each post, reserves close to the
periphery allow the descent of the cables and/or pipes or necessary.
An adjustable space is spared between this lintel and the roof forventilation
.
With the
lower part in basement, the posts are connected by
armed partitions being able to act as water tank in whole
or part of surface
. The whole of the posts, roof, lintel and partitions armed with the
basement form the rigid structure of the dwelling. The unit rests on
a concreted flagstone reinforced according to the ground, with the
right of each post by a drilling even concreted to him. In order to
increase seismic resistance further, the whole of the structure is
just posed on this concrete flagstone.

Frontage:
In
withdrawal of the roof
,la frontage located at the edge external of the lintel can be
builds into traditional or in
modular elements Chaque module can comprise: carry, travelling
window, bay, ventilation, shutters according to interior
installation. By the cylindrical total form, resistance to the
cyclones is some increased compared to standard elements used in a
conventional house. According to closings' chosen, certain sectors
can be completely open on outside
.
The
frontage can be re-examined with the liking of the years without
attacking the structure of the dwelling, therefore without
decreasing its resistance.

Installations:
Interior
space can in the form of
loft
or be divided into
many parts connected between them towards the center, around
an aquarium
(or
another decorative space) making enter the light by the transparent
roof in the center. Moreover, the center of each sector receives the
natural light by
a
transparent dome amplified by effects of mirrors
.
With the
liking of the ground chooses and of its tastes, each consecutive
sector can be on a level growing until forming additional sectors in
stages, or a stage in crown can be envisaged, by envisaging posts
simply higher.

Autonomy:
The
electric power is partly assured by
a
wind mill
of which the axis is interdependent of
an
interior blade
brewing the air of the dwelling. At the same time, it involves a
moteur/dynamo reloading batteries to continue ventilation in absence
of wind. The roof can also support photovoltaic panels indirectly
connected to the electrical supply network in order to control its
needs by achat/vente for electricity
.
The
rainwater stored in the lower tanks is initially pumped on the level
of the roof,
is purified , then distributed cold in the house or heat while
crossing solar collectors
. This oversize
solar collector
can be divided to also heat the water of a swimming pool or the
house by
the
ground in low temperature
. From its circular and tilted form, this sensor always has a
directed part in an optimal way, it is enough to a small accelerator
connected to a solar panel to balance its temperature and to decide
automatically to connect it to the reserve of hot water thanks to
the differential thermostat, when its temperature is higher.
According to the latitudes and seasons', the less exposed part can
benefit nevertheless from the sun by directional mirrors.
The whole
of the technical parts located in roof is masked by a flower stand
located in offset at the periphery makes also hood for all the
frontage
.
In
addition according to the area, of
the solar collectors with hot air can take part in the heating
or the ventilation of the house according to the position of a
simple shutter. Moreover the air flow can come from
a
Canadian well, bringing fresh air in summer and air moderated in
winter.
