Article source: Peter Ruge Architekten The master plan for the MRD (Micro Residential District) of Changsha provides 500.000 sqm living space on the 23,2 ha urban district. The southern part of the district with special demands regarding living concepts, sustainability, energy efficiency and ecological materials were designed by our office and is realised. The buildings combine the traditions of Chinese living, with a strict north-south orientation and modern living typologies.
The projecting balconies block the sun in the summertime and allow good illumination and solar energy gain in the winter months. The heating is produced by a low energy district heating power plant, cooling is fully natural and provided by cross-ventilation of the apartments.
