PROJECT OVERVIEW: THIS PROPOSAL TAKES USE OF MODULAR BUILDING AS AN ECONOMICAL WAY TO GROW THE SUPPLY OF MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING IN URBAN AREAS. THE DESIGN COULD BE 5 RESIDENCES AS SHOWN OR 50 RESIDENCES THROUGH THE MULTIPLICATION OF A BUILDING BLOCK. EACH RESIDENTIAL UNIT IS 1800 SF WITH 3 STACKING MODULES. THE MAIN LIVING & ENTRY SPACE, KITCHEN, BATHROOM, STAIRS & ENTRY ON ARE THE LOWER LEVEL WHILE THE 2 UPPER FLOOR PLANS HAVE AN ENSUITE WITH BEDROOM & BATHROOM. A GREEN SCREEN COVERS THE FAÇADE TO ALLOW FOR BETTER HEATING, COOLING & AIR FILTRATION IN A VARIETY OF ENVIRONMENTS. EACH STACKED LIVING UNIT FACES IN THE LINEAR ATRIUM THAT PROVIDES LIGHT, AIR & CIRCULATION. THE ROOF GARDEN PROVIDES OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES. THE BUILDING IS SUPPLIED WITH AN ONSITE RENEWABLE ENERGY SOLAR CANOPY AND RAIN WATER CAPTURE FOR USE IN LANDSCAPE IRRIGATION AND SMART APPLIANCES. THE CONCEPT HAS AN OPTION BELOW GRADE PARKING LEVEL WITH ON-SITE ELECTRICAL CHARGING AND CAR SHARE OPTIONS FOR A TENANT CO-OP. THE PLANS ARE ORGANIZED AROUND A CENTRAL COURTYARD PROVING EACH UNIT WITH NATURAL LIGHT, AIR & CIRCULATION.
