This project won the Grand Prize in the "Tertiary Buildings" category of the Circular Buildings Trophies 2022. The project involves renovating and raising a "concrete hut" typical of 21st century Reunionese architecture. Moreover, the project has following a circular approach, and the materials that could not be reused are locally sourced.
The design is based on the foundations of tropical bioclimatic architecture: through natural ventilation and solar protection.
Here below some data about the energy consumption:
