Kaleidoscope Nordic have released their proposal for a unique concept city that is fuelled using natural resources.
Titled Powered by Ulsteinvik, this design concept is future-oriented and establishes a space where a series of public and private institutions can co-exist. From cafes, office spaces to medical centers - this city proposal has been rigorously thought out. The architects incorporate solar panels and sunshade systems onto the buildings' facades to fuel the city with sustainable energy. They also propose a unique residential typology that uses a circulation system that collects rainwater from the roof, then used throughout the apartments. The city is completed with a shared greenhouse and a large kitchen where residents can cook and dine together.
The proposal features nursing care facilities and medical offices, ensuring that the residents are well cared for. Powered by Ulsteinvik takes sustainability and community to a new degree.
