-FINALIST of SOCIAL DISTANCING HOUSING BLOCK Competition
The housing block has been incepted with regards to the norm of Social Distancing lifestyle born out of the current Pandemic, taking into consideration both physical and mental wellbeing of the occupants and providing them with the comforts of a flexible interior space (as per the user’s occupation), smart furniture and an intimate community within the housing wherein the social interactions belong to the internal courtyard/void, connected with a dedicated naturally lit and well ventilated foyer space on the exterior of each unit, providing visual and auditory contact as well as a versatile space for personal activities.
Each unit is reached to by its own self-sanitizing capsule lift, allowing at once a single passenger to circulate vertically through the complex.
The provided open spaces help in communicating with beings and nature around, as life in quarantine can trigger loneliness and depression.
Each floor consists of two units, both capable of holding upto 6 occupants and support small businesses like the Bakery on the ground floor, the items from which are delivered through drone just as household items are received by the residents, ensuring minimum contact and necessity to leave the house. A bedroom with attached bathroom and a balcony has been provided in case of covid case in the family.
