Residential Block In The Heart Of Molenbeek Historique. The Block Is Very Dense (Built-Unbuilt Ratio = 5/1) And Many Households Don’t Have Enough Natural Light Which Leads To High Electricity Consumption

Concept The Commons In my point of view are shared spaces that connect people and encourage them to interact with each others. In Addition, a common can be the opportunity to introduce sustainable ideas and encourage shared renewable energy in order to reduce the energy consumption. In Belgium 72% of the Households Electricity Consumption Goes To Heating and so in this Intervention I suggest a canopy that collects rain water and has solar panels, which can together generate hot water to be reused to heat the households.
