This archive houses the foundational R&D and original architectural blueprints of Maverick Mansions. These core dossiers establish the primary engineering principles, early biomimetic structural theories, and baseline methodologies that form the bedrock of our Type 1 Civilization infrastructure.
The weakest point of most zero energy houses is the energy storage. The battery is expensive. The electricity produced and stored onsite is, in most countries, more expensive than the energy from the city infrastructure. However we have good news. Solar panels are quite cheap.. and the zero energy buildings consume just a fraction compared…
Independence to the core. We claim it. Long story short. Buy a terrain without infrastructure. It will give you the advantage to negotiate. With the extra money you could buy solar panels from alibaba.com or the tesla battery. Keep in mind that zero energy houses consume less energy than normal houses, so you will need…
houses | castles | old buildings Measure the size of the windows. Buy the acrylic sheets to double or triple the insulation. You can easily “stick” the acrylic sheets near your existing mineral glass. Use long magnets to close the doors. Old windows with double glazing will be easy to upgrade. Just open the inner…
how to ? Read this article first (30.30.30 rule). Nowadays everything is manufactured to have a short life. The economy has to keep going. Building something that last “hundreds of years” it’s not a good “investment” in the long run. Real estate, monthly bills and expenses as well as food is a “good business”. Doors,…
Acrylic negatives. Everything has it flows and weaknesses. Check out acrylic sheets first. Think about your home. The place where you live now. Seriously, just stop for a second and think about your dream house. Think about your future bedroom, other rooms, living area. Think about the doors, furniture, clothes, curtains, carpets, TV, fancy equipment,…
There are various materials that can replace glass. Acrylic sheet is among the top on my list. Crystal clear view with the surroundings. 92% of light is passed through acrylic sheet. In case of mineral glass it’s only 80-90%. That means you will have a “premium” crystal clear view on your surroundings. Your senses will…
An insulated shutter in front of acrylic sheets combined with the chimney effect works out the best. You want to protect the house from the heat in the summer. The same shutter will keep the heat within your home in the winter nights. Don’t just put a single layer of tin insulation. Insolate it well.…
energy study We “built” a 400square meter, 2 story house in our programs. We chose an extremely thick insulation. Read about the chimney effect. The house is on wooden pylons to save up the heat gained from the Sun (30 30 30 rule). We used a big south facing glazing (acrylic sheets) to achieve a…
Cooling it’s simple and cheap. If everything is sealed well (30/30/30 rule) then the hot air will try to escape in the upper part. By its movement in the lower part creates space. New air will be sucked in its place. Just put tubes in the earth or in the lake (not in the underground…
energy for free | battery from nature that looks like luxury Read about the thermal mass first. The whole thing is pretty simple. I will explain in a minute and you’ll understand it. 1) Build a house with a big south facing glazing and insulate it very well. 2) Put thermal mass inside. Let…
The chimney effect. How we hide the house from a “whimsy” environment? Think about a tram station in a rainy, windy, cold autumn day. Right after we pass the plexiglas we’ll feel warmth and comfort within the station. Basically we’ll feel the real temperature … without the wind and rain. We just use this…
