Description:

The project seeks to respect privacy and proximity living as well as generate connection between apartment and common space in a precise manner. The proposal is developed in four forms, one for parking cars and providing storage, and three for housing people, that are integrated into the terrain and organized around central paths and open spaces. It is considered the space between the forms (the transitional areas) are as important as the forms themselves. This arrangement of volumes and transitional spaces allowed us to house six, two bedroom (85m2) residential units and 12 covered carparks while respecting 50% of the open space and vegetation of the plot.

Overall, the design idea focuses on creating a spatial experience that values the environment and community engagement. By incorporating sustainable practices, providing communal spaces, and prioritizing social interaction, the arrangement of buildings can contribute positively to both the environment and the social fabric of the community.
