Renewing the Portiek Flats in Carnisse

The kWh/m2 studio is about designing for a low-carbon cityscape and also analysing the spatial impact of transitioning into new energy scenarios. The focus of my thesis within this stream is the renewal - including renovation and addition of the portiek flats, a common post-war housing typology located in Rotterdam Zuid. Over 85 % of post-war housing existing today will still be around by 2050, so it is crucial that they are upgraded to reduce their impact in a future low-carbon city. The aim of my design is to upgrade the existing portiek units to be zero-net energy, while also improving the layouts making them more attractive for families and a variety of demographics. On a social level, the aim of my design within the neighbourhood involves creating a more liveable and active urban environment. My design involves a series of interventions on an urban and building level that promote flexibility among individual residential units and also on a neighbourhood level.
