Social Housing MHD

The morphology of the building block responds to the rural character of the environment where the scale of the individual ‘small’ dwelling is clearly present. The play of the staggered roof is the logical answer to the environment of this scale. The scale of the project is reduced by the staggered roofs and the different materialization of the housing blocks. The roof tectonics make sure the building isn’t one massive block. Every roof shape also emphasizes the individuality of living. The positioning of the windows gives a certain rhythm and verticality to the façade. Extra tension is created by leaving a number of windows out on deliberate places Monotony is avoided without losing the atmosphere of unity on the site.
