Southern awnings provide cover from the sun, cooling in summer and heating in winter.
Operable fenestration on opposite walls allows cross-ventilation within units.
Translucent clerestory windows in Northern rst story units let in light without compromising privacy.
Floors with high thermal mass absorb heat from the sun and distribute through the space.
Awnings let in sunglight and heat in winter, but keep it out in summer.
