TWIN - CO-HOUSING

Modules can be combined in different ways depending on the demands and site. This will bring more variety to the protype housing.

By combining modules in different formats, we will also make buildings properly oriented on site with the best solution in terms of day lighting and circulation. Different combinations help us to reach desirable area and required spaces.

Modules:

Various forms and size are considered for prototype housing. Thisallows us to have different forms. at the same time, brings flexibility in terms of the size of the building.

There are three major modules for house construction in this design. These are called; Large-Two Story, Medium-Single Story, and Small-Single Story. Large-Two story module can also be matched with other types to increase the area and also form of the building. Other modules can also be combined with each other to achieve requirements of the residents.There exist two additional modules in the design. One of these is entrance-connection module. This part will be used as entrance of the building. It also can connect various forms to create several combines. Other extra module is capable of adding areas to the building even after long periods of time. This can help residents to expand their houses during the time.

Prototype Housing modules

can both be made on site and this will make this process produce less carbon. These materials are site derived and cost less. Concrete can also be used to make building fire resistant, but is a high carbon producing material. All of thementioned materials are fire resistant. For the roofs, steel structure will be used.

Materials:

Three different materials can be used for construction of walls: Rammed Earth, Concrete precast modules, and Poured Earth. Rammed earth and Poured earth
