Towards Multi-generational Living: An Urban Low-carbon Deep Energy Retrofit
This project transforms a modest brick bungalow into a vibrant multigenerational home while dramatically reducing its carbon footprint. Through deconstruction, material reuse, and minimizing foam and plastics, it demonstrates a practical approach to sustainable construction on one of the most challenging urban sites. If it can succeed under these constraints, it shows how thoughtful design and smarter building choices can reshape housing anywhere.
