LOTUS House

Solar Decathlon Competition on behalf of Washington University 2018

The idea of LOTUS House is inspired by the traditional Chinese landscape Lotus and courtyard design. We transformed the shape and atmosphere into our building and created a wonderful space. The whole wall and roof panels are made from pre-cast concrete via 3D printing form technology.

Multiple energy-saving strategies have been applied to LOTUS House to achieve nearly net zero energy building. The solar energy system provides 1.4 kW of electricity on average during the daytime.
