The second is a 60 square meter dwelling suitable for typical family need, featuring two bedrooms. The third is a duplex home spanning nearly 135 square meters, tailored for extended families. Despite having common terraces, there are spaces to socialize between neighbour n each flat. Plus, function idea is coming from the children’s and flexible areas. Conceptual word was the ‘TinyTrove Hub’. With this word, emphasizing the value of children. There are several schools and dormitories around close environments. That’s why improving the conditions for their education, and socializing was the main idea. A different form experience was used to emphasize the plus function and it was positioned high to avoid blocking the lower passage between the two buildings.
The entrances of plus function and buildings are located on narrow street in order to separate from crowded of site area. In terms of landscape, while green spaces are incorporated, a significant portion is dedicated to specialized materials that render the area adaptable.
