The house is highly efficient and has been built in collaboration with LEAPfactory, manufacturer of modular homes with zero impact on the environment
In this remote enclave of the planet, a team of scientists from the University of Copenhagen is dedicated to collecting samples to investigate climate change. Lacking an adequate infrastructure to take refuge, it was impossible for them to remain working several days in a row on the ground due to the low temperatures.
It is a house with two waters, zero impact on nature, an outer cover designed to generate a high energy efficiency capable of providing comfort and reducing energy consumption to the maximum. Conceived by Ariston in collaboration with Leapfactory. The structure is developed longitudinally, offering a panoramic view, with a living room, a bedroom, a bathroom and two technical rooms with capacity for six people. The pillars and beams of the structure are visible from the inside, which gives rhythm to the space, which incorporates very functional furniture.
"Unlike other projects, what we have done in Greenland is a different construction called 'framework' and it needs to be mounted on site. The first challenge was to build in a short time an industrialized kit that could be used even in very cold and windy environments", says Luca Gentilcore, founder of Leapfactory SRL "During the planning phase we take care of every last detail, taking into account the environment in which which we would be working, so there should be nothing missing in this project. We list all the components to not forget even a single screw."
It was built in 20 days with the help of the residents of the city of Disko, an island in Greenland. The transfer of all the material was made from Italy, passing through Denmark, to reach Greenland. A trip made by plane, icebreaker boat and snow dogs ... It has been an authentic adventure and the end result is a house that has become the home of Danish scientists.
The house today is a reality, and is the first modular and design house built in the Arctic, which works as a refuge for scientists in the winter months, where temperatures drop to -50 ° C. A house built to achieve maximum energy efficiency, equipping the Ariston Comfort Zone with high-tech and latest generation products.
