Description

In the age of skyscrapers, the immediate solution to housing is to build up and duplicate single units in the plan. project laureate of the recent 2018 Architizer A+ Award, proposed a conceptual endeavor as a prototype for mid-rise, multi-unit housing.

The feasibility of the modules coupled with the strategic climatic techniques insinuates the buildability of the project for future purposes. The proposal was also a Selected Project in the 2 2018A Asia Architecture Award (2AAA) in the Future Projects/Innovative Designs Category

The Tehran-based firm won both the Jury and Popular Choice Awards for their response to the prompt for a design that «champion[s] its potential for a positive impact on everyday life.»
Consisting of stacked units that act as tri-axis modules, the scheme features two central blocks off-center. The cohesive interlocking of these modules enables the creation of different unit types and deviates from the ordinary double-loaded corridor strategy.
