The urban structure

I wanted to keep the qualities that Section A, 1:500 were in the urban structure on the Site plan 1:500 site before, it was a labyrinthic pattern of narrow streets that some- times opened up into small open spaces.

Section C 1:200 Section D 1:200 Section E 1:200 Housing design

The housing design derives from the spaces inbetween the buildings; the yards and the narrow alleys. The buildings turn in different directions to create these spaces. The buildings embraces a yard that is collective for the residents in the buildings surrounding it. There they have col- lective wet kitchen, laundry facilities, seating area and other spaces that can be used for different activities. The yards are shaded by the buildings and trees. The sun has also effected the physical design of the buildings that con- sists of a simple box-like concrete hollowblock loadbearing structure. C The facedes consists of re-used or new materials that the residents A A extended themselves choose and can be part of the building of it. The facade ma- terials are applied on simple steel structures. On the outside of the buildings is a light steel structure that carries the lofts and the possible extensions. The steel structure continues up on to the roof where the residents can dry their laundry and have some small scale gardening. The positioning of the loft structure and the inclination of it is de- termined by where it is most useful as shading device. Where the lofts and the trees don’t block the sun completely, vertical shading devices are added.
