The goal is to combine the working with the living space on the same plot. This saves expensive carpet area. Thus, it is possible to start a small business in a densely populated city. In addition, an ecological green niche will be created. This makes it easier for people in a city to connect with nature.

My favorite was the projection-screen, which was hidden in the ceiling of the bedroom. Put it down, I could be watching the movie, lying on the floor the living-room. The more magical was that through the transformation of internal furniture, it could meet a multi-port life demand. It was comparable to a traditional three-bedroom housing-type.

Daily Light

Daily Light is composed of 15 space units, including 13 living units and 2 service units. Through arrangement and stacking, the middle corridor is shaped as the main passage connecting the space, and the stairs in the atrium connect the vertical space. The terrace formed after the units are stacked can be used as an open-air cinema.

Lego housing

We thought of how we can approach the idea of a “pocket home” as literally as possible. What if you could take out the phone from your pocket, download an app, and order yourself a living module? You could even take it apart and assemble much like children’s building blocks.

POCKET OF LIGHT

The scheme takes Tetris game as inspiration for unit layout. Due to the site constrains, our design follows a performance-driven generation workflow to arrange the unit combination and optimize interior microclimate. In respond to the immigrant homeless issue, the co-living space is added in between for social interactions to re-energize the community.
