Micro Community
1. Make a spatial answer to a transition from solitude to sociability.
2. Make a sense of place in a site-less situation
3. Enhance biodiversity
The first one is manifested through a journey of spaces with varying grade of privacy, ranging from the public space to the very private. In this both human and dog can find comfort upon arrival and evolve together over time. The common ground for the residents is the kitchen, situated in the heart of both the main building and amongst the surrounding buildings.
Spreading the program to smaller volumes creates a sense of place between the buildings. We imagine a loadbearing construction in CLT (cross-laminated timber), facilitating a good indoors climate and replicability, but we imagine local adjustments in cladding, using local knowledge and skills. Lighter construction can be made in cooperation with the residents, creating local adjustments and ownership.
By studying the ground and flora to reveal local biodiversity, the project can add qualities supporting these findings. The introduction of a local permaculture ties bonds to the surrounding bioclimate and insures a healthy microclimate for both the residents and the local community.
