The project site is located in the buffer space between the two districts, Almere buiten and Almere stad in Almere The Nederlands. This city has six districts, Almere stad, Almere buiten, Almere haven, Almere poort, Almere buiten, and Almere Pampus. This what we called polynuclear city the first in the Netherlands. Almere is the youngest city in Netherlands ; characterized by low and medium rise building in a sub urban life style. Almere characterized also by modern architecture. When you are visiting Almere, you will be constantly surprised by creations of many top architects from both home and abroad. From Rem Koolhaas until Portzamparc. Everything is possible in Almere. Perhaps, we can call Almere the first architecture laboratory in The Netherlands. This project has five dwelling towers. Deck connects all five dwelling towers each other. Extra functions such as library, children playground and café restaurant will be located on this deck. Four key words describe the concept of this project, contrast, connecting, border and sustainable and bioclimatic design. The first three keywords are the function of buffer space in a polynuclear city which is concluded from the previous research. Another aspect that also is important to consider is energy efficient architecture. Energy efficient architecture seeks a balance between energy conservation and energy gain. From planning perspective, the greatest influences are on building proportion and orientation. The sun path, the qualitative difference between the morning and evening sun and sun altitude should be taken into consideration in the allocation of the floor plan.
