Social Housing

Tabriz, Iran / 2018
Residential Complex / Studio Project

In recent decades, apartments and skyscrapers have accounted for the majority of urban settlement. Despite dealing with the challenges of overpopulation, these high-rise typologies have often forgotten the importance of residents' quality of life.


This project investigates how to gather many residents in a residential complex while focusing on social spaces and providing both private and semi-private areas. It attempts to translate the notion of old suburbs into a contemporary settlement, optimizing corner heights for views and using sloped roofs as semi-private yards.
