The challenge of designing housing in an urban landscape is trying to provide the comforts and luxury of living in the country while in a condensed environment.
To do this, the project must provide generous and private outdoor space, large amounts of natural light, and the ability for the user to modify and adjust their outdoor and indoor threshold.
Using a modular system that allows for different apartment types to "plug" into the building allows the owner to grow or shrink their space as needed. To make the outdoor space more private, many of the elements of the apartment protrude to limit views to the balcony from other apartments. The living rooms are double height with floor to ceiling windows. To control light and noise entering the apartment, louvers are integrated into the windows. The system of louvers can also be adjusted to create a sunshade for the balcony.
Programs used to produce this project include CAD, KeyCreator, and Illustrator.
