ONE AFTERNOON SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, we found ourselves waiting
in the quiet, impossibly picturesque Swiss town of Domat/Ems to
meet an architect named Dietrich Schwarz. Though still in his thir-
ties, Schwarz has already earned a reputation as one of Switzerland’s
leading practitioners of the environmentally friendly approach to
architecture known as sustainable, or “green,” design. Using a com-
bination of new, high-tech materials—some of his own invention—
and old-fashioned architectural wisdom, he creates houses and other
buildings that are snugly energy-efficient and sit lightly on the land.

18 City
Cities have been around for morethan six thousand years, drawing successive waves of new
residents with their blend of commerce, culture, energy, and
opportunity. The first city to surpass a population of one
million was Baghdad, thirteen centuries ago. London topped
five million in 1825; New York exceeded ten million a hundred
years later. The metropolitan area around Tokyo surpassed
twenty million in 1965 and is now closing in on thirty.

45Sea Train House
Green Features
ADAPTIVE RE-USE
OF MATERIALS
The house’s structural
elements are old sea-going
storage containers, some
of which had been on site
before the project began.
NATURAL LIGHT
With a glass curtain-wall
facade and strategically
placed exposures on the
side and rear elevations,
the house uses nothing but
natural light during the day.
RECLAIMED WOOD
The massive Douglas fir
crossbeams, which support
the cantilevered roof, were
reclaimed from a nearby
construction site.
NATURAL MICROCLIMATE
The lush front garden, which
includes a stream fed by
recycled water, generates
cool breezes and fresh air,
both of which are lacking in
Sea Train’s asphalt-covered
neighborhood.

Suburbs are everywhere,everywhere cities are found. Conceived as a kind of utopia that
would allow city workers to live in pastoral surroundings, the
suburb, with its voracious appetite for open space and low-
rise, low-density development, has turned out to be one of
mankind’s more harmful intrusions on the environment.

Suburb
ISOLATION GLASS
Dual-ply windows containing
a thin metallic layer that
attracts winter’s short rays
while deflecting summer’s
long ones help regulate
interior temperatures.
CONCRETE CORE
A massive base of reinforced
concrete serves as both
structural anchor and
passive solar collector,
absorbing heat during
the day and then slowly
releasing it at night.
LOCAL MATERIALS
Driendl used locally quarried
granite as floor covering for
both the first and second
levels and maple wood
grown in a neighboring
forest for the custom
cabinetry and furniture.
CHIMNEY EFFECT
In the warm months of
summer, the retractable
glass roof provides a
convenient escape hatch for
rising hot air as well an easy
ingress for cool breezes.

More than ten billion acres of the Earth’s surface are covered in forest, and most of that
land falls in sparsely populated mountainous regions. These
stunning landscapes, among the last to resist industrializa-
tion, urbanization, and suburban sprawl, are essential to the
survival of the planet. They promote water and soil conser-
vation, provide flood control, synthesize huge amounts of
oxygen, help protect against climate change, and promote
long-term biodiversity.

SOLAR PANELS
The electrical energy needed
to run the mechanical
ventilation system is
supplied by solar receptors
embedded in the roof.
SPLIT-SYSTEM
AIR CONDITIONING
Each floor has a separate
temperature control, which
allows the system to cool
or heat only the space
being used.
RECYCLABLE MATERIALS
From the wood panel
flooring and glass walls to
the bolted steel skeleton,
every component of the
house was chosen for its
capacity to be recycled.
TRIPLE GLAZING
With three layers of glass
containing a film of metal-
coated plastic foil in the air
space between the outer
and central panes, as well
as inert gas between each
layer, the windows have
an extremely low heat
transmission value.
NATURAL LIGHT
Floor-to-ceiling
windows eliminate the
need for artificial light
during the day.

While few of us make a living fromthe sea or a river these days, more and more people are moving
to the water’s edge. Communities small and large are disman-
tling ports, repurposing docks, and greening embankments
for the benefit of their citizens and businesses. The recent
evolution of cities like Barcelona, London, and New York has
been closely tied to the renaissance of their once-decrepit
waterfronts, with the rehabilitation or addition of residential
units there among the most prominent improvements.

Swart Residence
CENTRAL AIRSHAFT
Cutting through all three
levels at the center of the
house, the airshaft is a site-
specific feature that improves
the internal air quality by
drawing fresh air from the
exterior above the traffic line.
PHOTOVOLTAIC CELLS
The solar collectors on the
roof, which supply most of
the house’s electric power, are
connected to the power grid
with a 0.2KV inverter so that
excess electrical energy can
be returned to the electrical
supply authority.
RAINWATER COLLECTION
Rain is collected from the
roofs of the main house and
the garage and distributed to
the garden by an automated
irrigation system.
AUTOMATED CLIMATE
CONTROLS
An integrated system
controls lights, blinds, air-
conditioning, and security,
and can be programmed
to respond to light and
temperature conditions
as well as patterns of
occupancy.

140 Desert
With its often unbearable temperaturesand scarce amounts of natural water, the desert is one of the
harshest environments on Earth. But it is also a place of refuge
and solace—a sanctuary for people seeking rejuvenation,
spiritual uplift, and relief from the crush of big cities. Recently,
however, especially in the United States, large tracts of desert
land have been metastasizing into suburbs, with homogenous
subdivisions connected by six-lane highways.

HIGH-EFFICIENCY
AIR-CONDITIONING
Because the peaked roof
allows hot air to rise,
less air conditioning is
needed and then, only on
the hottest days.
FRITTERED GLASS
Covered with small ceramic
dots that act like light-
transmitting blinds, the
windows and skylights
reduce heat gain and
glare while keeping the
space bright.
PLASTER WALLS
With a high sand content,
the plaster walls act as
thermal collectors, aborbing
much of the heat so that the
air temperature stays cool.
SAW-TOOTH ROOF
The north-facing glass
panels flood the house with
light. Even on gray days,
artificial light is rarely
necessary.

Between the Tropic of Cancer and theTropic of Capricorn lies a region where there are just two sea-
sons and temperatures are persistently high. The oppressive
heat and humidity give way to periods of epic rainfall and pun-
ishing storms—typhoons, cyclones, tornadoes—that can cause
indiscriminate damage whenever and wherever they strike.

RECLAIMED WOOD
CLADDING
All exterior timber cladding
and battens are of blue
gum, a hardwood native to
the area that the architects
salvaged from an old railway
bridge. The hoop-pine
plywood ceiling panels were
sourced from plantation
timbers.
NO-TECH VENTING
Despite the tropical
conditions, the house
contains no mechanized
air-conditioning aside from
ceiling fans. Slatted panels
above doorways allow for
cross ventilation at night.
FOUNDATION-LESS
STRUCTURE
Elevated on treated steel
struts (not shown), the
house hovers over the
landscape instead of being
set into the earth. This
arrangement not only
minimizes the environmental
impact, it also allows cool
air to circulate up from
underneath.
Green Features
ON-SITE WATER
PURIFICATION
A series of cisterns converts
rain into drinking water and
treats waste water for use
in irrigation and flushing so
that neither storm water nor
sewage ever leaves the site.

One of the most significantdevelopments in residential architecture over the last several
years, particularly in the United States and Europe, has been
the effort to rehabilitate the reputation of prefabricated, or
modular, housing. Using powerful design software that allows
them to combine the cost savings of factory-built homes with
the aesthetic benefits of customized design, a number of
young firms are creating modular houses that offer sophisti-
cated architecture at a remarkably low price.
