“Firmato dagli architetti Claerhout-Van Biervliet e Adriaan Claerhout, il progetto per la Periscope House ha già vinto numerosi premi, dal BLT award, alla menzione d’onore all’Architecture Masterprize, all’Architizer A+Award 2024, pur essendo ancora ‘sulla carta’.
Specifically, the Periscope House is a completely underground residence; it has a large central patio at the heart of the building and is surrounded by open spaces, both of which are underground.
The idea of an underground building offers multiple advantages, including excellent thermal insulation from heat and cold. Additionally, it has a lower visual impact on the landscape.
