Our proposal aims to house artists who are evicted from their homes (as is the case in White Building). We proposed 20 houses of different sizes, with open plan design (divided with curtains) that are fully open on two sides. The houses do not contain bathrooms nor toilets, but there are two central buildings to support everyone on the bridge. There are five workshops, where artists work, and are open to the public regardless of age. The products that are produced in the workshops are being sold in the flea market that is an extension of the existing one. There were also two relaxation and amusement areas which were opposite to a «boat through» cinema and a dance studio. The movement of motorcycles, tuk-tuk and people coexist, coincidentally as it is something that happens in their daily life.

Contribution to Development

This project was a unique opportunity to work in an unconventional project which involved a combination of traditional housing, influenced by the local patterns, including the user needs and habits, but from a fresh perspective, providing them new opportunities to work, relax and connect with each other. The project program was decided collaboratively and the model was created together with my team. I was responsible for the team organisation, the AutoCAD drawings, (plans, masterplan, sections, diagrams), the Photoshop, the design concept and the selection of the represented drawings, the materials and the structure details.
