Affordable Housing

The central concept of this project is to introduce affordable housing units in Adlieh, designed for the working population of the neighborhood. The aim is to create compact, functional living spaces that offer comfort and privacy while maximizing space efficiency and reducing construction costs.

The design is based on a modular 4×4 m room unit, used as the main building block. By avoiding traditional corridors and reorganizing the rooms into open, interconnected layouts, each apartment becomes more spacious, efficient, and practical. The project includes three housing models: a two-bedroom unit for small families or roommates, a one-bedroom studio, and a compact duplex — each containing the essential elements of urban living, such as a balcony, open-plan kitchen, living area, and bedrooms.

Privacy is ensured through the careful stacking of units, alternating balcony orientations, controlled window placement, and avoiding direct views between apartments. The building also supports daily life through shared facilities such as a supermarket, pharmacy, gym, restaurant, common lobby, and green outdoor spaces. The project therefore creates more than affordable housing; it offers a compact urban living environment where residents can live comfortably and access their daily needs within the same place.
