new two-level apartment Step 1 Consider the first-floor five-rooms apartment, and one row of the eight car boxes below it on the ground floor. Step 2 Split in two the first-floor apartment, following the apartment layout and the position of the bearing structure. Join horizontally the two car boxes; join vertically each half-apartment with the two car boxes below it. Step 3 New portion of the building completed. Step 4 Redesign the street as private gardens related to the new duplex apartment. Step 5 Evaluation: 1. Operational energy; 2. Comfort; 3. Daylight; 4. Embodied Energy; 5. Costs; 6. Energy Performance Class.
