Project Description

This project aims to create a kind of micro urbanism that integrates low density and high density housing. In order address the human scale of the destination street and the required FAR, a formal strategy that creates multiple scale of housing is created to achieve the maximum flexibly and repetition.  Such strategy also aims to create instant urban condition through placing small massing adjacent to very large massing, accentuating the drastic changes in height found in many cities.

The housing types suited along the destination street are low density duplex, townhouse, while the large terraced towers behind the smaller housing typologies features one bedroom and two bedroom condo units. Although the change in scale between the housing types are drastic, the sense of community is achieve through applying series of shaded and unshaded outdoor.  Townhouses and duplexes have series of semi-private garden and private roof garden. Condo units have communal terraces that can be connected at the higher level.
