Considering various community units, communication among neighbors, identical living environments, and a certain distance between buildings, I planned a residential complex.

2nd grade work

STEP 1

The residential area is designed with four distinct buildings, and a central community space connects them all.

STEP 2

Rotating the community space that links the four residential areas has expanded the ground level, allowing for ample parking. This also varies the orientation of the walls, resulting in diverse views that avoid monotony.

STEP 3

The four houses are arranged in a repeating pattern around the community space, each rotated 90 degrees to offer unique views. Additionally, each residential building is divided into two levels.

STEP 4

Each building has its own core.

STEP 5

Each building’s top level is twisted around a core, giving it a different look and feel from the bottom level.

The first floor of the residential area has been removed, and in its place, a piloti structure has been constructed, elevating the living spaces to start from the second floor. This design not only provides direct access to the residential and community areas but also utilizes the ground level space as a parking area.

STEP 6

All the buildings and common areas turn in their own way, making an interesting mix of spaces that all fit together to make one smooth neighborhood.

2nd floor plan

Typically, windows are made vertically on walls to allow ventilation and bring light inside. The light from outside travels through the window, passing around the edges of the wall, as shown above.

Site Plan

To allow more light to enter, they employed a method of cutting the window walls at a diagonal. By doing so, light is able to spread more widely and penetrate deeper into the interior. This technique results in a larger amount of light coming in through the diagonally cut walls.

The staircase was positioned in a favorable location for ascending to the upper floors, and the layout was designed to allow easy access to each household from the stairs.
