Project idea

My goal was to create a universal concept for housing in post industrial zones. These are usually quite spacious areas located within the city bounds, with the necessary infrastructure already present. This led me to creating structures which could be shaped accordingly to the available space in each of these zones. I aimed at efficient land use while providing high level of comfort.

Project description

In this project I created a modular system that serves as a universal solution for housing in post-industrial areas. I focused on efficient land use, green spaces and integration of these areas into existing urban tissue. My system can take various shapes depending on the available space and provides housing as well as offices, parks and appropriate logistical infrastructure.

First part of my work was focused on research. In the second part I designed the system of modules and layers itself. And finally, the third step was creating an example configuration on which I can demonstrate the relations between each of the elements present in my project.

Technical information

The load bearing structure of the building is a skeletal system. It consists of a grid of concrete columns and beams, some of which are visible, and others are hidden inside interior walls.
