Development of 21 sustainable public housing units and a public space, comprising a residential zone with a roadway, parking, pedestrian paths, a relaxation area, etc.
The site’s orientation was carefully considered to harness solar energy and provide protection from the elements. The clustered housing design also ensured the project’s viability, both economically and in terms of energy savings and sustainable development.
Regarding volumetric design, flat-roofed constructions were favored to enhance the compactness of the housing units and optimize spaces by eliminating attics and mansard sections. Furthermore, from an energy perspective, this roof type also optimizes rational energy use. Moreover, this choice allowed for seamless integration with existing buildings, as some of the housing units surrounding the site also featured flat roofs.
