HOUSE FOR SUSTAINABLE LIVING
The project will include new housing units on the flat roofs of buildings for architectural, urban redevelopment. The units proposed are composed of lightweight structures that do not involve excessive overloads for the building. The roof is equipped with solar panels that will provide energy to both the existing system and to new units. The outline of coverage will allow the collection of rainwater, which will be used to irrigate the green and to flushing the toilets.
