4th Year - Erasmus Exchange - T.U. Delft
2014
The project included a community centre, sports hall and library for the neighbourhood and a set number of dwellings for elderly, young professionals and families.
The project allowed me to research through design the use of buffer space in housing to allow a flexibility between the privacy of the home and the social interaction of a community.
A central collective space for the residents acts as node to the complex, situated above the sports hall node to the neighbourhood.
