This social housing project is designed with sustainability and high efficiency in mind. The building incorporates passive design strategies and energy-efficient features to enhance comfort and reduce its ecological footprint. The building's primary concept revolves around integrating green spaces within the architectural design. A prominent double ventilated facade with an attached vertical garden provides a natural sun filter, reducing heat gain and minimizing energy consumption. This green facade also enhances air quality and contributes to urban biodiversity. Facade and Climate Control: The double ventilated facade acts as a dynamic buffer zone, regulating the building's temperature by controlling solar radiation and facilitating air circulation. The garden component provides additional insulation and reduces the heat island effect. Additionally, operable panels allow residents to adapt to seasonal changes, ensuring optimal comfort. A central courtyard shaft serves as a key feature of the building, promoting natural ventilation by functioning as a chimney effect. This vertical space not only encourages cross-ventilation within apartments but also acts as a circulation hub, fostering social interaction among residents.
