LOCATION

The surrounding is a very

dense settlement with not
very good quality housing

NEIGHBOURHOOD CHARACTER
CONCEPT

It promotes infilling urban sites rather than building new developments

on the city's outskirts, where services are limited.
The project proposes high-density, sustainable, social housing that
supports social mobility with opportunities in a thriving urban centre

In plan, the building is shaped like a figure eight, wrapped

around two interior courtyards. Units are arrayed along
exterior corridors that overlook the landscaped courtyards.

No two units face each other, providing a sense of privacy

and ownership. Outdoor spaces will serve as points of inter-
action for neighbours.
5,800-square-metre building will rise
six levels and contain 56 apartments
PLAN
MATERIAL - a special concrete brick that is both inexpensive and easily to
install. It also enables different facade patterns.

"The concrete unit reduces the construction time and cost and elevates the
design potential of each individual home,The result is an irregular, playful
facade reflecting the individual units in a unique, non-repeating pattern."

INCLUSIVITY
The building also substitutes fences with trees, con-
Common spaces for community interaction necting it to the surrounding park setting.
