Imagine living or working in a building where you didn't need to turn on the radiator in winter or activate the air conditioning in summer.

The idea is appealing and now it's taking shape as a reality. Indeed, this concept of a more sustainable building without heating, air conditioning or ventilation system was conceptualised and designed by Austrian architect Dietmar Eberle in 2013 with the project "2226".
