ArchitectThree Unit Residential
When dealing with an orthogonal site, the boundary becomes an important factor in designing
three units which would have a communal area. In my project I tried to keep the units contained
within the block by pushing the curved design moves to the interior.
Therefore the experience from the exterior looking into the space is vastly different from that of looking out of the space. Each unit is formed by three outside surfaces that are orthogonal and keeps the units in that boundary where the curved surface which looks inside the project creates a valley-like experience. The curves lead the user to the garden space which is the center of the communal area.
