“My master plan is a series of terraced single bedroom apartments ranging from high to medium in density. The plan utilizes prefabricated construction to position a lattice of single bedroom units across the pre-existing terrain. The layout aims to promote interconnectivity through a series of bridges and pathways to create a communally accessible space helping to promote a sense of community and belonging. The units are all designed to incorporate passive heating and universal design.”
