Project idea

Our goal was to design a welcoming building for the community—one that serves as a safe refuge in times of need. The planned activities will keep the space vibrant and dynamic, while accessibility and safety features ensure it remains a place people can rely on for both enjoyment and protection. Additionally, we aimed to make the structure eco-friendly by incorporating energy- and water-saving measures to promote sustainability.

Project description

Our project’s main concept revolves around creating enclosed zones for the community while maximizing solar energy generation and daylighting. It also includes reusing and filtering greywater. The roof is designed to accommodate various social activities.

Technical information

We conducted calculations to estimate the building’s energy usage, which are integrated throughout the project. The design prioritizes maximum daylighting and generates a significant amount of solar energy.
