SHIFT HOUSING COMPETITION

2006

A small town is created in the city. Retail spaces act as a barrier, giving privacy to those behind. The buildings create smaller, different spaces in between, filled with trees, grass, paving, cars and, most importantly, people. A skew building provides excitement, with a different covering, indicating north. Spaces differ – from the large to the small, from the busy to the calm. Small changes in building form become points of interest.
