Winding Grid

This aggregation project took elements from my previous three projects to create a new housing community within a block of New Orleans. The surrounding community of the site lacks a fresh food source, open green space, a pool, and a gym. The mission of this new community is to provide what the surrounding community lacks through maintaining gardens and an orchard in and around the aggregation, a large community pool, and a three floor gym. There is a total of seven units and there are three different sizes to adhere to multiple types of lifestyles such as single young adults and families with three children. The unit size depends on how many floors it has, because each unit takes up the same amount of ground space: the bigger the unit, the more floors it has. The main concept this project explores is the inhabitants’ choice for complete transparency or complete privacy through the window placements and height above the ground.
