Housing project in France for lower income families uses natural lighting

The French are known for their taste, in food, architecture and clothing. We came across a piece of French architecture, that’s as green as a residential building can get. Built in Bonday, France, the social housing project was designed by Atelier du Pont. The U-shaped residential building lets in all the natural daylight it can and is an energy-efficient roof over the head for lower-income families. The housing project also includes rainwater collection systems that collect rainwater from the roof that is then use to water the landscaping. Also, each of these living spaces comes with private balconies, opening up to the natural world outside.

An example set by the French as to just how much natural lighting helps in residences, we sure love the design and the innovation put into this one.
