Info
The design intention is to provide a housing environment which, using currently available construction techniques and technologies, is efficient in terms of net energy demand, durable, has low maintenance requirements, relates well with the surrounding environment and is functional. A primary objective in regard to ‘livability’ is that the development connects with its surroundings in positive ways. The overall design concept of the ground level is to enhance communication, wherever possible, bring all generations together and create a community spirit. Furthermore, the project makes extensive use of green roofs, which includes the directly accessible elevated open spaces wherever appropriate and possible.
