HYBRID HOUSING
ACADEMIC: STUDIO
Fall 2021
This project explores innovative solutions for low-density urban housing using hybrids of two common urban housing types - Rowhouses and Lowrise apartments. The design aims at medium-high income professionals and working families as its primary users, with the intent of complementing the surrounding site and including private/public amenities that foster communal interaction. This was conducted as a group project, my primary role was to generate plans, renderings and diagrammatic representations.
