Housing and public space in Dominican Republic

"MORE FOR LESS"
With the aim of providing both public space and private outdoor space, the project proposes a different typology with access from two levels.
The intention in this project is give answer to need from housing and treatment of public space and public areas in one marginal zone in Santo Domingo. My answer is through the recycle. I use containers whose volume are going to be houses. I move the containers to create new spaces and have got terraces that expand housing. The palets have a great importance in the insulation. It use the bamboo like a transparent wall whose in the future, the family can change the material if they will need more space and It use to green cover.
The second level have a public walkway to access the housings and use space to public activities like play, run, paint, sell, etc.
