Description

The University of Tennessee’s Living Light house incorporates the knowledge of Tennesseans past and present to create a sustainable, comfortable home to meet the needs of today. The Living Light home organizes the daily routines of life into two cores pushed to the extents of a large loft-like living space. Glass facades enclose the main living space, filling the home with natural light and offering views to the surrounding environment. Technical systems, such as the trellis-like solar array that provides both shade and power, are integrated into the architecture of the home and find their own unique aesthetic expression.
