HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
As a group of five architecture students we were asked to design a Housing Development in Castle Park, Bristol. The scheme consists of two main residential blocks with retail units on the ground floors.
The design is shaped under the lens of postcovid reality, using landscape techniques to control crowd flow, whilst creating an inviting outdoor space that instills a sense of civic pride and community.

The slope of the roof on the South pushes residents out towards the river while the ones on the North invite them into the carefully landscaped public space.
My main task was developing the North block. It consists of three apartment types designed to accommodate people with different needs.
All of them are carefully considered in terms of orientation. Living rooms are usually located on the South to take advantage of the sunlight, while kitchens and service rooms are positioned on the North.
