Case Study

This project involves renovating a former soap factory site into low-energy social housing. It consists of 4 blocks containing 42 apartments, lofts, and maisonettes across 6,500 square meters of built area. Existing structures like a chimney and buildings were retained for their historic value. Sustainable features include biophilic loggias, a collective heating system, solar panels, and rainwater harvesting. The project aims to reuse the uncontaminated site for residential use in an environmentally friendly manner.

4.TO RETAIN THE LOOK THEY HAVE USED INDUSTRIAL MATERIALS LIKE SCARP METAL AND
ALUMINIUM STAIRCASE WHICH MAKES IT LOOK LIKE AN INDUSTRY RATHER THAN A RESIDENCE.
5.IT HAS ONLY 3 LIFTS FOR 4 BLOCKS
6.IT HAS ONLY ONE ENTRY AND THE SAME IS USED AS EXIT SO DURING THE TIME OF FIRE
EMERGENCY IT WOULD BE REALLY DIFFICULT
7.CHEAP MATERIALS SUCH AS HEMP FIBRE,EXPANDED CORK HAVE BEEN USED.
8.THE USE OF GLASS FOR CONSTRUCTION LOSES THE PRIVACY.
