Design Philosophy

家的中心在核心，一个模块，容纳所有的主要机械，电气和管道系统，包括厨房，浴室，和公用事业室。然后，Core通过显示器和移动应用程序提供交互式反馈。通过将家庭中的能源使用点集中在一个单一的位置，并提供即时反馈，家庭的居民能够动态地改变他们的消费，以满足自己设定的能源目标，并在一个简单的环境中了解他们在一段时间内的能源使用和发展轨迹。核心作为一个建筑，机械，和象征中心的家庭。核心的建筑包层反映了这一点，使用圆滑的金属壁板将复杂的机械系统无缝地包装成一个单一的、易于视觉识别的封装。核心方案提高了能源消费的能见度，并提供了作出可持续生活选择的机会。

The Start.Home centers on the Core, a module that houses all of the primary mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems including the kitchen, bathroom, and utility room. The Core then offers interactive feedback through a display as well as a mobile application. By centralizing the points of energy usage in the home in a single location and offering immediate feedback the residents of the Start.Home are able to dynamically alter their consumption to meet self-set energy goals and understand their energy usage and trajectory over a period of time in an easy and simple setting. The Core serves as an architectural, mechanical, and symbolic heart of the home. The architectural cladding for the Core reflects this by using sleek metal siding to wrap the complex mechanical systems seamlessly into a single, easily visually identifiable package. The Core increases the visibility of energy consumption and provides opportunities to make sustainable living choices.

核心周围的建筑空间是为了将核心无缝地融入一个熟悉而舒适的家居环境。宽敞的开放式大房间提供了一个宽敞、明亮、灵活的空间，满足了居民的日常需要。高高的天花板使房间感觉更加宽敞和开放。简单的平面图使家具能够动态地调整以适应居民不断变化的需求。桌子可以在厨房岛下面部分滚动，以创建一个早餐吧，转移到房间的中心，创建一张餐桌，搬到工作室提供工作空间，或者搬到露台上供户外使用。工作室的附属部分被分割，创建了一个建筑门槛来为居民定义一个创造性的工作空间，但是它是开放的，允许将这个房间作为更大的房间的一部分使用。卧室是有目的地分开的，以提供一个私人的休息，从公共空间的家。

The architectural space around the core is designed to seamlessly integrate the Core into a familiar and comfortable home environment.  The large open great room offers a spacious, well lit, and flexible space for the daily needs of residents. The high ceiling makes the room feel more spacious and open. The simple floor plan allows furniture to be arranged to dynamically adjust to changing needs of the residents. The tables can be rolled partially underneath the kitchen island to create a breakfast bar, shifted to the center of the room to create a dining table, moved into the studio to provide workspace, or onto the patio for outdoor use. The studio annex is partially partitioned, creating an architectural threshold to define a creative workspace for the residents, but it is left open to allow the room to be used as part of the larger great room. The bedroom is purposefully separated to provide a private retreat from the public space of the home.

当代社会面临着许多来自现代生活方式的环境挑战，这种生活方式强调便利，而不是消费文化可能带来的无形代价。这种能源消耗很大程度上与我们居住和居住在建筑环境中的方式有关。家的建筑目标是建立一个可持续的环境和创造可持续的实践在其居民通过作出可持续的生活选择等同于方便。通过使用一系列被动系统、建筑标志和主动反馈机会，Start.Home提供了一个能够以环境可持续和对社会负责的方式容纳其居民的愿望、创造力和梦想的建筑环境。

Contemporary society faces numerous environmental challenges stemming from people living a modern lifestyle that emphasizes convenience over the possible invisible costs of a consumer culture. Much of this energy consumption is tied to the way we live in and occupy the built environment. The architectural goal of the Start.Home is to build both a sustainable environment and create sustainable practices in its residents by making sustainable living choices synonymous with convenience. By employing a series of passive systems, architectural signifiers, and active feedback opportunities, the Start.Home provides a built environment that can house the aspirations, creativity, and dreams of its residents in an environmentally sustainable and socially responsible fashion.

预制公共模块包括厨房柜和用具、浴室和洗衣房，以及带有综合电气和管道系统的机械室。外部红木墙板和内部道格拉斯冷杉硬木地板是从加州湾区的老房子打捞回来的。一个自定义的建筑能源管理系统，具有直观的控制和突出的界面，收集电力和水的使用数据，并将其可视化给居住者，以激励和设定目标。一个很好的房间，供晚餐聚会或游戏之夜，可以溢出到广阔的后院庭院，通过大玻璃滑动门，模糊了室内和室外生活之间的界限。一个可食用的后院花园提供水果和蔬菜。

The prefabricated public module includes a kitchen counter and appliances, bathroom and laundry room, and a mechanical room with integrated electrical and plumbing systems. Exterior redwood siding and interior Douglas fir hardwood floors were salvaged from old homes in the California Bay Area. A custom building energy management system with intuitive controls and a prominent interface gathers electricity and water use data and visualizes it to the occupants for motivation and goal setting. A great room for dinner parties or game nights can spill out to the expansive backyard patio through large glass sliding doors that blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. An edible backyard garden provides fruits and vegetables.

Technologies

核心机械室将Start.Home发电和控制集成到一个集中的“引擎”中，并增加了模块化的功能，以将控制系统扩展到每个生活空间。模块框架支持将来的添加。

房子里的窗户是安徒生的一种独特的高科技窗户，叫做100系列，是用再生木纤维(锯末)制成的，不仅是最节能的窗户之一，而且也是最经济的窗户之一。绿色建筑通常不便宜，但100系列是。它还有SmartSun玻璃，它是一种凉爽的玻璃，可以吸收阳光，但能使不需要的太阳热量产生偏转，阻挡95%的紫外线，从而节省了取暖和冷却成本。安徒生还为Start.Home提供了一个A系列折叠式天井门，其中也包含了SmartSun玻璃。

The windows in the house are a unique, high-tech windows from Andersen called the 100 Series that is made with re-claimed wood fiber (sawdust), and not only are they one of the most energy efficient windows available, but also one of the most economical. Green building is not usually inexpensive, but the 100 Series is. It also has SmartSun glass, which is a cool glass that lets sunshine in, but deflects unwanted solar heat and blocks 95 percent of UV rays, which saves on heating and cooling costs. Andersen also provided an A-Series folding patio door to the Start.Home, which also incorporates SmartSun glass.

接下来是什么

What's Next

太阳能十项全能之后，Start.Home将是斯坦福社区三口之家的家。此外，还将增加一间卧室，并将在斯坦福大学贾斯珀岭生物保护区的现场重新组装这所房子，供居民护林员和他的家人居住。设计团队的最终目标是将可持续发展的核心引入市场，以帮助全国范围内的房主将可持续性融入他们的生活。

After the Solar Decathlon, the Start.Home will be home to a family of three in the Stanford community. An additional bedroom will be added, and the house will be re-assembled on site at Stanford's Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve to house the resident ranger and his family. The design team ultimately aims to bring the sustainable core to market to help homeowners nationwide integrate sustainability into their lives.

斯坦福大学高年级学生、斯坦福Start.Home项目负责人德瑞克·欧阳在YouTube视频中谈到了将建筑、工程、建筑和以人为中心的设计结合在一起的全球挑战：
