if six was 9 - We have designed a multi-use, multi-family shared cost living facility that brings forward a new type of living. Lifting the modular residential units on a plinth, and putting them under a large gable roof creates an interstitial space between interior and exterior.

HBEER2 - Sustainable design was a driver for the overall design of the building. With elements like a green community garden on the plinth, green wall trellis, a large gable roof to reduce heat load and to create summer ventilation as well as rain water collection. Steel was used as structure which is recyclable and thus sustainable.
