The site was spread on two different lands consisting of a total of 7732.48 sq meters of an area which I took as a developing opportunity and divided the users into two main categories, the one with a family to no users stay away from their family to fulfill their needs and the other being for single occupants.

As it is very common in urban areas that people are not even aware of who their neighbors are, let alone knowing their lives better, I designed it in such a manner that the units were divided into little groups of houses that make it more interactive. And not to forget the ones staying alone as the room would be easily divided into two spaces with the partition that they can make by rotating the planks between the room and the hall allowing the person to allow more people when needed. it was also very essential to have a supermarket for their daily needs so the users did not have to go too far to fulfill their needs, which is provided around the studio apartment which makes it accessible for all the users.
