Living above the Shop
This investigation takes the site issues of safety, public and private community, and access to neighborhood amenities, and stitches the project into the urban landscape in a unique design solution. The solution provides a private and secure garden courtyard that is a catalyst for organized and informal activities and interaction. The apartments are all organized in a co housing concept with varying degrees of community shared spaces.

Options
