Nestled in its hillside location with breathtaking views over Lake Constance and Reichenau Island, this typical 1970’s building was in desperate need of rehabilitation regarding current energy standards. The new owner and developer Thomas Tanner saw potential in its strong and rough form, reminiscent of architecture during this time. From a sustainability perspective, the large amount of grey energy already built into the existing structure speaks for rehabilitation rather than demolition.

The United States Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm announced the winners of the 2021 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Decathlon, a competition that challenges architecture and engineering college students from around the world to design and construct high-performance buildings powered by renewable energy. 72 competing teams hailed from 12 countries and designed energy-efficient residential and commercial spaces, nine of which were constructed and presented in the Solar Decathlon Virtual Village on the National Mall, a first of its kind, in Washington, D.C.
The old factory of “Galletas Richaud Hermanos” was located in the San Román neighborhood, in the City of San Francisco de Campeche until the mid-’60s. Then it became the family residence until 1981 when it was abandoned; the original sign is still legible today. In 1989, a 619 sq. meter section of the property with access from another road was used to build a house for one of the family members. It is this same family that has recovered a 277 sq. meter addition using part of the original façade of the factory. The unbeneficial relationship of the preexisting Colonial building and the residence from the ‘80s generates the search for a meeting point; the dining room is remodeled, extended and opened, for a continuous relationship with the garden that they now share.

The City Prosperity Index, CPI, set by UN-Habitat, evaluates urban prosperity according to five parameters as productivity, infrastructure development, environmental sustainability, quality of life, and equity/social inclusion. To a greater or lesser extent, these five factors are represented in the street pattern of every city in the world. Streets have multiple functions as the mobility of people and goods, the supply of energy, water, and information, the collection of waste, the growth of trees, plants, insects or birds, the shadow and sun radiation, the bench where to sit, the place to salute and talk with your neighbors, a playground, or the access to the bakery where you buy the bread. In this sense, streets are public and vibrant spaces, which can perform multiple functions and activities.
