Power to the People이란 7가구의 태양열에너지로 운영하는 로우하우스로 구성된 제로에너지 프로젝트를 의미한다. 각 플랫은 개별적으로 연접된 남향 지붕과 지방자치단체에서 허용한 최대한의 태양열 패널을 갖추고 있다. 양쪽으로 막다른 길을 면하고 있는 부지였기에 집들이 지금 나 있는 길거리에 일렬로 놓여진다면 어쩔수없이 집의 절반은 북쪽을 향해 테라스를 두어 현지 덴마크의 좋지않은 날씨에 분명 노출될 것으로 예상되었다. 그래서 그쪽으로는 작은 통로를 두어 사적인 공간을 유지하면서도 인도와 접할 수 있도록 하였다.

The building site is flanked by two dead-end streets that are running in an east-west direction, which meant that if the houses were to line the existing streets then half of the flats would have a north facing terrace which is clearly undesirable in a nordic climate.
So we created a small “alley”on the site. The alley is on private property but left open for pedestrian connectivity. it connected the two dead-end streets which not only increased pedestrian activity in the neighborhood but also opened up the property and the neighborhood to the hiking trailheads that are adjacent to the site. This alley allowed the rowhouses to be oriented in a north-south direction which gave all of the flats west-facing terraces with afternoon and evening sun.
