"We propose a new way of living as an answer to the "future-proof dimension" request. The proposed development is rather designed as a network: it not only aims at enhancing connectivity between the individual buildings on a social level, but also as a group of energy prosumers. Each house is designed around an energy core to capture natural power from the sun, wind and rainwater. The harvested energy is transformed and shared through the slab of the in-between space that connect several houses. Because each house specializes in one type of harvest they can achieve a complete sense of autonomy only thanks to their networked character."
