this project aims to present a potential model for a generation mixed residence community by integrating apartments for senior citizens, student studios, work/study spaces and a kindergarten.
the facade of the blocks maintains the distinctive block structure of the district, while introducing new entrances leading to the courtyard. these openings run alongside the facades, which gradually diminishing in height and thus creating an intimate atomsphere as they approach the courtyard. these street-like openings serve as a transitional space, guiding from the urban enviroment to the private yard with the kindergarten.
the volume with the terraces contributes an introverted gesture to the entire project, creating a harmonious and inward-looking atmosphere. the ground floor, featuring work/study spaces, a kindergarten and a courtyard, serves as the collective focal point of the community.
