Solar Radiation
In this one volume two level houses, shading skins give solar protection to the social, more open areas, and larger walls protect the more private ones. These walls act as thermal masses that regulate indoor temperatures. In addition, other passive strategies like significant overhangs grant comfort to the internal spaces and terraces.

Wind - House Ventilation
Both levels can have crossed ventilation that help maintain more comfortable temperatures inside the house. The shades allow this in the upper level; and the internal gardens will ensure warmer air to exit the house allowing for a better wind flow. Additionally, vegetation is used to redirect wind into the houses and produce cleaner air for shift.

Water Management
Along all roads and inside all lots, bioswales and ditches are created to ensure a water infiltration process as natural as possible. Part of these water is directed into rain gardens each house. Additionally, the rainwater catchment tank is part of an upcycle water management system at shfit.
