THE MICRO-MACRO COMPLEX
THIS HOUSING COMPLEX UTILIZES FLEXIBILITY TO PROVIDE SPACIOUS INTERIORS ON A SMALL FOOTPRINT.
THE DESIGN OF EACH UNIT CONSISTS OF A STACKED CORE (KITCHEN AND BATHROOM) AND MODULES, EACH OF WHICH INCLUDES TWO SUNKEN ROOMS AND A THIRD SPACE THAT SITS ON A SLIDING FLOOR PLATE ABOVE. THIS FUNCTIONALITY ALLOWS THE TENANT TO RECONFIGURE THE UNIT BASED ON THEIR DAILY NEEDS.
FLEXIBILITY WAS INCORPORATED INTO THE FAÇADE, ALLOWING TENANTS AN INDOOR/OUTDOOR LIVING EXPERIENCE. EACH UNIT HAS AT LEAST ONE FAÇADE OF FLOOR TO CEILING WINDOWS, WHICH OPENS COMPLETELY TO THE EXTERIOR.
FLEXIBILITY IS EMULATED ON THE EXTERIOR BY PROVIDING A VARIETY OF OUTDOOR SPACES TO BE USED BY THE TENANTS AND THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY.
