The project is an exercise in programmatic layering. It rejects the traditional “central hall” villa model in favor of a decentralized, modular layout. By utilizing shared wall lines and consolidated service zones, the design achieves high residential density while maintaining individual privacy. It is a pragmatic architectural response to the need for versatile, multi-unit housing, balancing the rigid requirements of technical construction with the fluid needs of contemporary co-habitation.
The corridors are designed with generous widths to facilitate wheelchair maneuverability and curbless design preventing trip hazards and allowing for continuous mobility across different functional zones.
The ensuites reflect a Decentralized Care Model. By placing specialized ensuite adjacent to every sleeping quarters, the design eliminates travel distances, a core tenet of Universal Design Theory.
