Zürich is a city that belongs to Switzerland. It is located in the north of the country and is the capital of the Canton of Zürich with about 1.4 million habitants. The project is located in the center-west part of the Canton by the Sihl river. Nowadays, the site is used as a Helvti Diner Stauffacher (a hamburger restaurant) that used to be a Tram station in the past. In addition, in front of the restaurant, the Zürich Selnau train station is located.

INITIAL CONCEPT IDEAS
To understand the way the street and context works, some notes are shown studying the uses in different buildings. As shown in the wall section above, most of the context uses retail in the first 2 floors and, while it is going higher to the building the use becomes more private. The dimensions of the site have to be taken into consideration. As reported, the actual sizes of the building are 6 x 20 meters.
VISION “The project should work as a connection between the urban landscape and the river while providing the people with new attractive outdoor areas and residential spaces where they can live in comfort”
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES MOR
-Conserve the natural landscapes and provide recreational areas -Protection of the residents from harmful effects and nuisances such as noise and air pollution -Provide the residents with natural illumination and ventilation depending on the season -Reduction of the effects of environment, inhabitants and economy -To integrate the building to its context

CONCRETE OBJECTIVES
N IG H T
-Heating demand 25 kWh/m2/y -Energy demand 120 kWh/m².yr -Reconfiguration on the spaces during different seasons (open public spaces) -Access to daylight in the apartment up to 6 to 5% -Provide several public space for residents.

FINAL ILLUMINANCE STUDY IN WINTER
ILLUMINANCE STUDY The proposal for the residential area is divided into 4 floors with 8 flats in total, each floor has 2 flats (as shown in the diagram). One of the priorities was to provide as much natural illumination as possible and for that reason, a shadow study was made and 2 luminance where the sizes of the windows were changing until the final result gave us an average of 4 to 6% of daylight factor in the flats.

Brentford towers
Studio 1 - Retrofit GENERAL INFORMATION
Type: Residential building Architectural style: Modern Construction started: 1968 Completed: 1972 Height: 55 m (approx) Floor count: 23 LOCATION AND NEEDS The Brentford towers are a complex located on the Green Dragon Estate in Hounslow, West London. In total, there are 6 towers that have an amount of 528 flats (88 each tower). The project was built in the late 60’s and early 70’s and it is located off Green Dragon Lane. Taking in consideration that there are single and double flats the towers can provide housing to 792 people. Today, there is a need of remodeling the towers block due to the conditions and deterioration of the project. In a report made by the London Borough of Hounslow it is explained that “Major works are required to address current health and safety issues relating to the exterior of the building and ensure the long-term future of the Towers. The existing external wall panels cladding t.” (Curran S, 2015).
THE CLIMATE CONSIDERATIONS
-Improve natural daylight -Februrary is the coldest -July is the warmest -Very Rainy in October (69.7 mm) -Very Windy in the Sotuh West

VISION “The Brendfort tower project should improve the social habitation and daylight factor while using recycled materials in order to integrate to the context as an upstanding landmark.�
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES -Improve social interaction -Improve thermal performance of the flat -Have a better daylight quality -Integrate with context
CONCRETE OBJECTIVES -Energy consumption under 100 kWh/m2/y (70% energy saving compared to existing building) -Access to daylight in the apartment up to 2% -Provide several public space for residents. -Use recycled materials As a designer, one of the main aspects to consider is the human comfort and experience inside the building. At the moment, the colors, materiality, scale and thermal comfort of the building make the building a dark space to live. One of the main goals to achieve is bring more light into the building but also to involve people in the way the building works. OH, NO

TECHNICAL CONCERNS Trapped/accumulated moisture (high). Moisture, both as a liquid and a vapour, becoming trapped and possibly accumulating within building fabric as a result of changing either fabric or ventilation conditions. Thermal Bridges (high)
ENERGY CONCERNS Installation quality (high) Product/material requires a standard of quality installation in order to operate as intended http://responsible-retrofit.org / wheel/
