This project was to design an urban housing development that addressed the program of the work on urban scale and delved into building typologies. It was to provide a strong, unified and coherent solution, while focusing on both programmatic and spatial layers. The program reflects facts and phenomena in regards to historic background, the social need for housing, the current real estate market, and sustainability. It hoped to investigate further into a broader understanding of these issues.
This urban housing complex can accommodate families and individuals of the younger age group through offering appropriate size and structure of apartments. It also provided facilities serving this tight knit community and other citizens of the same district, while integrating the idea of semi-public and public space for the entire area to enjoy.
