I divided the wall surface in triangular pattern. I scaled the pattern down and the space between it become the facade surface. I set a curve at the corner and use it as an attractor, therefore patterns near it will be smaller than the further ones.

SI TE CO N TEXT & G R O UND F LO O R PLA N

The internal courtyard act as a connection for the two main entrance (Top-left main road, bottom right laneway), blending the busy street and the quite, private laneway into one. With the corridor protruded or recessed, created pleasurable space for social interactions and free space for residents to use. With our studio cluster focus as: growing old, the first floor is designed especially for elderly, evident in more accessible toilets and doorways.

Mesh flooring is especially used to ensure waer drainage and reduce the solid ground cover.
