Soltag and Atika - Two Prototypes for Dwellings on Existing Roofs

technology    p. 1444 - 1446
Author Schittich, Christian |

The practice of using existing roof spaces to increase urban density is becoming increasingly significant, and not only in an ecological sense. This article presents two prototypes of pre-fabricated roof dwellings; Soltag for the northern and central European countries, and Atika, more appropriate for the Mediterranean climate. Both systems demonstrate well thought out energy-systems and reveal the unique quality of life achievable under a sloping roof.
