The concept of social housing in Belgium is to bring the people of traditional Belgian social housing communities together. I wanted to create an area where there was a lot of contact between the people living in the social housing complex because I believe it is important to have good relations with neighbors and not isolate oneself within one’s home. To strengthen my idea, I brought the living rooms of the houses to the front of the neighborhood square, and I created a front yard to give the neighbors the possibility to meet each other easily and socialize. Realizing that privacy is also be necessary at times, I created a more private garden for the residents on the back of the house. 

The buildings were built in a U shape on top of a parking lot. The parking lot functions as private parking under the dwellings for the residents and public parking in the middle.
