The student accommodation houses (Fig. 3.5.5.) have the north to south long axes as the previous study defined that the west and east orientations is the most appropriative for the most of the rooms. The blocks location determined by the privacy consideration and the height set to be similar with existing surrounding. To create windproof, private area between the buildings (Fig. 3.5.6.), the west block was extended (appendix F. Wind Study) in the east direction. As was mentioned the nearest public transport stop locates near the eastern border of the site and main pedestrian axes in the west. To provide the access to the bus stop for the occupants as well as to link it with the walking axes, the west block was divided (Fig. 3.5.7.). The courtyard was drowned in to the ground for a 2 meters to provide community space and to extend the area of the blocks within the established height. The entrances to the student houses oriented inside the yard for a privacy and security reasons. To minimize the overshadow and to prove the view for the existing private houses, the heights (Fig. 3.5.8.) of the East and South Blocks was decreased and East block mass was carved. The roof was sloped in order to increase the solar gains for further photovoltaic panels as well as for aesthetic proposes.
