Techstyle Haus was the first-ever Solar Decathlon entry to incorporate a complete textile enclosure. By choosing to work with textiles, we are inevitably challenging conventional architectural practices and approaching homebuilding with a fresh perspective. Additionally, Techstyle Haus will be built using Passivhaus strategies, the highest international standard for energy efficiency. Techstyle Ha
us will be an affordable, innovative, easily constructible, and highly efficient home that takes advantage of the unique capabilities of textiles. The team includes representatives from Brown University, the Rhode Island School of Design, and the University of Applied Sciences in Erfurt, Germany. Techstyle Haus is our entry to the Solar Decathlon Europe 2014 competition, and will be open to the public June 28 - July 14, 2014. Learn more about Techstyle Haus at www.techstylehaus.com
