Aerial view of a cluster of multi-family housing blocks with solar
An aerial precedent by Lemanarc demonstrating contextual multi-family housing design with integrated rooftop photovoltaics and scaled massing within an historic town fabric.
- What we like about this project
- Solar panels cover large segments of the pitched roofs, matching the building geometry while adding a distinct dark grid texture.

- Geometry
- Arrangement of multi-story residential volumes stepping down a slope, featuring staggered footprints that create interstitial green courtyards and pocket spaces.
- Facade system
- Light-colored rendered plaster wall panels with regular punched window openings and balconies.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete frame with masonry or insulated wall assemblies.
- Spatial scale
- District scale captured from an aerial drone viewpoint, showing three-to-five-story residential blocks.
- Lighting
- Bright midday sunlight casting short, crisp shadows across the roofs and ground plane.
- Atmosphere
- Ordered, clear daylight highlighting sustainable infill development within a historic landscape.
- Environmental context
- Hillside European town context with surrounding vineyards, historic rooftops, and mature trees.
- Spatial experience
- A medium-density infill fabric that bridges traditional town scale with contemporary multi-family housing blocks and shared open spaces.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating window groupings and photovoltaic arrays create a textured rhythm across the pitched and flat roof surfaces.
