STATEMENT
With a focus on sustainable design methods, we sought to utilize geothermal, solar, and wind energy to create a passive, multi-use, multifamily structure with connections to its surrounding area.    
    On the lower floor, there is a partially-sunken market hall wrapped in a perforated facade and topped with a plaza deck system. 

    On the upper floor, there are ten units, each equipped with:
  • geothermal a/c supplied from coils bored in the northern corner of the site 
  • a sawtooth roof that combines gains from photovoltaic panels and clerestory light 
  • a clear path for air coming from the golf course to flow through the units
  • a garage-style maker space
  • an efficient floor plan offering creature comforts we considered desirable
