Today the Villa Solar is open to public, which means that the day before yesterday we (and all the other teams) officially finished the building works and the organizers took the houses over. It was an amazing moment, as you know, not every architect or engineering student may see his planned house built and in function. But the work doesn’t finish here, from now on the visitors and the jury comes, and our house is ready for the upcoming tests and evaluations.

Evening still life: Only the front of the house there is a small mess, and the interior smells from labour. Well, the mess is not that small.

It’s not a building site any more: no need for helmets!
