380 affordable houses

I.

Design concept

On a hilly lot, the program calls for 380 deep affordable units. Our proposal is to use for each house, a lot coverage of 23x50 feet, with a front and back patio, but with many adaptive plans depending on the household size. The plans are based on a single structural system that is industrialized and prefabricated.  Varying heights up to two stories and different prefabricated external stairs and architectural elements on the façade provide dynamic variations to the street scape.

Dignified  

While affordable houses construction costs must remain low, the design does not need to provide a generic dorm for the outcast; but rather it must be a dignified housing scheme, that lift and enrich people's lives.
