The multifamily residential development concentrates denser housing at some of the highest points in the township, resulting in spectacular views of Manas Lake from the upper levels of the housing complex. The design explores the use of brick in various forms by reusing the material as vertical planes on concrete-clad floors. Through variations in the position of these planes and the size of openings,  a hierarchy of private and shared terraces are provided. The project attempts to balance the vernacular interpretation of brick with advances in construction techniques.

Programmatically, the project explores the creation of ‘Sky Villas’ and re-interpret expressions and organization of units and shared space. At the ground level, the project establishes a series of shared open courts that embrace the topography of the site and are oriented to take advantage of the views. The project provides a true vertical village that will establish an urban density within a hilltop garden setting.  By integrating open spaces and terraces, a passive microclimate is created that allows the breeze to keep the buildings cool in the warm climate of this region.
