Moonshine是一座建于1786年的房子，位于英国巴斯附近，最初是附近一个大型乡村别墅的校舍，2002年由Invisible Studio扩建，是该事务所的第一批建筑之一。自2002年以来，工作室负责人Piers Taylor和他的家人一直住在这所房子里，并在这期间建造了各种其他项目，包括位于房子周围100英亩林地中的工作室，Taylor同时也管理着这块林地。
Moonshine is a house built in 1786 near Bath, UK, that was originally a schoolhouse for a large country house nearby, and extended originally in 2002 by Invisible Studio as one of the practice’s first buildings. Practice principal Piers Taylor has lived in the house with his family since 2002, and in the intervening period built various other projects including the practice’s studio in the 100 acre woodland that surrounds the house and which Taylor manages alongside practice.
泰勒自己建造了最初的扩建部分，在房子有车辆进入之前，他不得不沿着一条陡峭的林地小径把所有东西都搬到了这里。原来的房子在建成后不久就获得了AJ小型项目奖。除了泰勒希望驱逐他年轻时的恶魔，并从他作为年轻建筑师所设计的房子继续前进之外，在这几年中，在绝缘和气密性的知识方面已经发生了很大的变化，由于希望在未来证明这所房子，并使其尽可能的低能耗，泰勒最近对房子进行了改造，以达到特殊的绝缘、气密性和自治水平。
Taylor self built the original extension having to carry everything 600 metres along a steep woodland track before the house had vehicular access. The original house won the AJ Small Projects award soon after it was completed. Other than Taylor desired to banish the demons of his youth, and move on from the house he had designed as a young architect, in the intervening years, much has changed in terms of knowledge insulation and airtightness, and with a desire to future proof the house and make it as low energy as possible, Taylor has recently retrofitted the house to achieve exceptional levels of insulation, airtightness and autonomy.
这涉及到保留木质结构框架，但拆除和更换地板、墙壁、屋顶和玻璃。该房屋进行了广泛的热力学建模，并减少了玻璃以避免热损失。从周围林地的废旧木材中提取的生物质锅炉在需要时提供热量和热水，还有电地暖与屋顶的离网光伏发电相连，并有电池备份。
This involved leaving the structural timber frame but removing and replacing floors, walls, roof and glazing. The house was extensively thermally modelled, and glazing reduced to avoid heat loss. A biomass boiler fed from waste timber from the surrounding woodland provides heat and hot water when needed, and there is electric infloor heating linked to off-grid photovoltaics on the roof with a battery back up.
