Apartments for Tomorrow
Future of Studio Apartment
Studio: IX
Numerous students and young professionals from all over Bangladesh travel to cities like Dhaka on a regular basis for higher education and attractive job opportunities.
However, finding affordable housing to meet their needs is difficult. As a result, they are forced to either rent rooms in private facilities, known as a mess, or share rented flats. Despite paying exorbitant rent, they face a slew of issues in these establishments.
The project's main goal is to find a creative architectural solution to the unmet housing need for individuals like university students and young professionals. By creating a replicable apartment model that can be used all across the nation, the intention is to strengthen the notion of adaptability. The aim of the project is to create a cost-effective and optimized Studio Living Unit that improves the users' quality of life.
The main design component is prefabricated modules that can be used in adaptive combination with the building's outer grid system and is easy to manufacture, maintain, and transport. More green cover and natural inclusion are possible due to the dichotomy between masses and inter-spatial voids. Through active and passive spaces combined with built-open typologies of space, the design component as a whole integrates the social and private aspects of a person's routine to encourage participation and collaboration in serendipity. A hierarchy of transformable Studio Unit type gives the apartment building a dynamic and animated appearance and boosts both individual and group productivity.
The design scheme intends to create a place of belonging. The design aims to create a supportive and motivating environment so that students can learn and live simultaneously, express themselves, and lose themselves in their own thought processes.
