IDA 2024 NOW OPEN -- Early Bird Deadline May 30, 2024
The Client would like to renovate an abandoned grandma’s house into his own, but the new requirements exceeded the available space, so the final decision was to build a new one next to it. Contextually, a row of 4-8 storey tall neighbours made poor natural light and ventilation an inevitable problem so the design team introduced a courtyard and divided the rest of the massing into smaller blocks making it more porous to improve natural light and ventilation. The building footprint is compacted as much as possible to preserve what seems to be the last generous greenery around the neighbourhood.
