NAGOGONGERA SEMI-DETACHED COMPLEX 2016_Nagongera, Uganda
Description Semi-Detached Complex. Design a housing scheme to fit a small plot in a developing region on Nagongera in Eastern Uganda. The scheme should provide a few units which are meant to be rented out on a shortterm basis to individuals, couples or small groups of people on-the-go. This project was done under SNO.design.studio, self-owned practice. I produced all drawings and documentation. The design process was carried out between myself and the client.
APPROACH
Given the spatial restrictions, a semidetached scheme was used, providing four units and space for parallel parking. Each unit contains a small kitchenette and dining area, bathroom and two bedrooms. As per the client's request, each unit is designed such that it may rented to separate individuals if necessary; Each room has its own external access. The units also have a main access to the shared space. Being an extremely dusty region with frequent heavy rains, most of the plot is paved, which allows for parking space. The rear end of the building has a small grassed garden which will house water collection filter tanks that will feed the bathrooms
