Residential Complex
Multi-unit housing projects that organize residents through shared spaces, courtyards, and community-oriented design strategies.
Residential complexes represent a design approach to housing that balances individual units with collective spaces and community infrastructure. These projects explore how architecture can foster social interaction while accommodating diverse household types and evolving needs.
The community examines residential complexes across scales and contexts, from courtyard-based arrangements and clustered villa organizations to large-scale harbor districts and adaptive housing typologies. Projects range from historical precedents to contemporary developments that integrate cultural traditions, flexible unit sizes, and neighborhood growth strategies.
