The Streamline


The streamline proposes a polyvalent, dynamic living space in which inhabitants transform their environment to their liking. The neutral space in the heart of each variation provides ease of movement and creates a variety of thresholds for the private niches. From a single unit, the articulation of niches and neutral spaces results in a dynamic facade with a variety of tectonic movements. Mezzanines and balconies come about from this movement. The concept of “the streamline” continues in the cumulative layout. With a courtyard passing through the middle, the building is made up of two parts: the “glass-box” where social functions are situated, and the units connected with bridges to the glass box.
