After researching energy efficiency classification policy and vernacular cooling techniques, a pilot scheme was developed that would update our current housing stock to withstand both present winter conditions and a hotter future. The ghost town of Szentkirályszabadja was chosen as the location for the experiment, a paradoxically abandoned military settlement in the region of some of the most expensive real-estates in Hungary. The abobe shading screens are supported by a steel frame on an attempt to create a playful facade that would humanize these unimaginative buildngs and revitalise an area of historical significance.
