"The project re-sources through a reinterpretation of the Abbey as a social ecosystem. It promotes collective living, enriched social dynamics and shared spaces while minimizing land intervention. By creating a new neighbourhood centre, it regenerates daily life, strengthens social ties and activates local resources as a social and ecological catalyst."
