GRAND ISLAND IS A SITE LOCATED IN THE INTERSECTION OF HALSTED, GRAND AND MILWAKEE. IT IS ISOLATED BY THE HIGH WAY, RAIL WAY BRIDGES AND RIVER. DESIGN AIMS AT ACTIVATE THIS ISLAND BY UTILIZEING AND REDESIGNING THE OLD BUILDINGS & STREETS TO ATRACT PEOPLE. AND AT THE SAME TIME CREATE THREE NEW REAL ESTATES TO INCREASE THE DENSITY OF THE SITE.

 

SITE LOCATION: HALSTED & GRAND , CHICAGO

WE UTILIZE THE ALLEYS WHICH WAS EXIST IN THE SITE AND BREAK DOWN SOME BUILDING TO CONNECT THE ALLEYS TO THE MAIN STREET. THEN REDESIGN THE SPACE IN BETWEEN THE OLD BUILDINGS, MAKING SOME INTERSTING SPACE. SO IT WILL ATTRACT MORE PEOPLE TO HERE AND GIVING THE REST SPACE FOR THE PEOPLE ON THE STREET.

 

 

MEANWHILE THE RESEARCH WE DID SHOW US THAT THE DENSITY HERE IS LOW AND HAS HIGH POTENTIAL TO IMPROVE. SO WE CREATE THREE REALESTATE PART IN THE SITE IN THE BEST LOCATION OF THE SITE.

 

CONCEPT - ENDLESS GARDEN
THE NEW HOUSING STYLE SHOULD GIVE PEOPLE 
NEW FEELING OF LIVING. THE IDEA IS UTILIZE THE TERRACE TO CREATE A UNLIMITE SHARING SPACE BUT NOT DISTURBING OTHERS’ PRIVACY.
