Innovative Urban Architecture: Redefining Residential Complex Design

UNI Editorial published Story under Urban Design, Housing on

This project "Block Connected" draws inspiration from traditional bricklaying techniques, where bricks are methodically layered and bound by concrete to form unified structures. In this design, living spaces are conceptualized as tangible units, similar to bricks, while public spaces function as connective elements, binding the individual units into a cohesive whole. The result is a distinctive "Residential Complex" that integrates "Residence + Commerce + Office" into a harmonious, multifunctional living environment.
