neighborhoods




The multiple entrances to the project help link it to the neighborhoods around, and keeps the courthyard an inviting place, seperate from the city's active streets.

The project is divided to three sub-buildings, each with it's own logic.
The main courtyard acts as anchor which connects the project's three parts, and creates one whole community.

neighbors




The two northern buildings in the project, are drive-in dwellings, each with it's own garden. Both do not share facilities other than the main garden. They are more suited for families.
The southern building is an appartment building and acts as a buffer between the project and the city. It has apartment of various sizes and conditions and therefor inhabits mixed population.

Technology


Each dwelling unit, both in the low-rise drive-in dwellings and the apartment building has an outside area of it's own.

Environment


The building's section was created in order to help it protect the inner courtyard from the city's noise.
