Max FAR Ratio/Lot Multi-unit =ो त तनो By maximizing the local rowhouse typology to the size of a double-loaded mid-rise, mixed-use building, and rotating it"upside down"-where the lost space of the attic not only comes to act as pilotis that enable the expansion of open space, but can now be used as critical components of infrastructure, a new typology emerges: a building typology where the project's logic are not only inverted but also maximized to accommodate for a significant increase in density. In the past, pilotis - although greatly beneficial in creating a continuous ground plane - themselves did not perform any other secondary function. As such, it could also be said that their internal framework of the pilotis have also been a "lost space". If expanded, however, they can act as containers for a variety of tasks like parking, water catchment and filtration, and/or compost tanks that facilitate a sustainable and perhaps semi-sufficient building blocks. =ो | =ो Semi-detached Furthermore, the traditionally underutilized attic becomes the "cistern attic" - a somewhat ironic formal move as pitched roofs are generally meant to divert water away from the building not capture it. This concept also relies on maximizing the use of all surfaces including the bottom of the building as well as the roof. Their roles are, however, flipped: where the old pitched "roof" becomes a cistern, the new "flat" roof becomes a garden plot. It is proposed that green roofs be implemented for the increased number of residents to have the opportunity to grow their own produce as they see fit. 2000 Rowhouse Typology Parcel Size: 292m? Also, continuing with the notion of expanding surface area, a common atrium space is created where the windows of the row-house use to be, acting to collect sunlight, people, and an organic transition space between different programming. Essentially the super-sized windows are transformed into to act as the common atrium space where different programs meet and interact. These supersized windows in the centre of the building, in conjunction with the new green continuous ground plane and the green rooftop, come to create a veggie triple-decker sandwich of sorts. Building Size 186m? Max Green Space Ratio FAR 0.64 The creation of a continuum ground-plane also allows for the fluid connection of the surrounding open space to one another, as well as creates opportunities for exploration, leisure, and activity to take place through the medium of an open programming scheme. ॥ ि क Single-detached 1:5000 500 250 house garage PILOTICVL URBVNISM Piloticized Strategies of Development Solar Aspect on Roof Roof Slope Lost Space of the Attic Water Captured Multiply Volume Traditional Gutter Flip It!
