 Conceptual Approch

ISSUES
Site Access
Site The site access is only in one direction
so add access in the left and right side
with in respect to the road

site sensory
the site is exposed to sound polu�on due to
the hevicles so place the residence away from
the road and if the residece is near to the road
plant some trees infront of the building to
decrease the noise.

Socio Culture
The interac�on between the community is
low so create common space and create sense
of interac�on by increasing the mee�ng
opportuni�es between the residence to
increase the interac�on between them.

Design concept = Integration

The concept mainly cointain the idea of increase sociliza�on between the dweller of the apartments.
We describe our conceps interms of:

Ground Floor Plan

Create common courtyard between the residence and the commerce for increase the connec�vity
for the users
create common ver�cal circula�on between the towers to increase the mee�ng opportuni�es.
create sky bridge to connect the the two tower and create puplic space to increase the occupants
interac�on

Social interaction is a complex concept, but here are some

Studio One Bedroom Two Bedroom Three Bedroom

geometric patterns for a facade that could represent it:

Interlocking shapes:

Use interlocking geometric shapes like hexagons. This can symbolize

the interconnectedness of people
in a social setting. Imagine hexagons with smaller circles or
squares "connecting" them, visually representing individuals c
oming together
