Systems Analysis/Scheme
This project is located in an inclined site. The main building structure bridges between the upper and the lower part of the site by creating an internal covered atrium street, running from west to east. In such a way, the long façades are North-South oriented. The building is based on two wings (north and south), that contain the residential units. Between them, and under the atrium, the public spaces at different levels. The separation of the two wings and the additional open public floor in the middle of the southern wing enabled the winter sun to rich the north wing units. By using the heat accumulated in the public sunspace the project takes advantage of the solar heating in winter.
