Recognition: People's Choice Award

The conceptual scheme is built upon a set of three compact building types with four characteristic courtyard spaces that are compatible with the neighborhood scale and context.  Building footprints with varying aspect ratios are employed as a versatile, customizable "kit of parts" to arrive at diverse open space and circulation alternatives. Stacking two cars using parking lifts  transforms the space otherwise occupied by cars into usable open space.  The inclusion of stacked flats with elevator allow for greater accessibility.  At the same time, more than 80% of the units have at least three bedrooms, thus catering to families with children.  The above unit modules can be easily re-configured depending on variations in site dimensions and  specific programmatic needs of a medium/high density infill development.
