Phase 3 Concept

The concept for phase two of unity village was to create order within the chaos of the everyday by utilizing the grid which naturally occurs within the existing architecture of the building.

My client is an elderly man who uses a wheelchair. His love for book collecting shows me that he is relaxed by his collection. Also, the fact that he is a collector and enjoys showing off his books means that he is naturally orderly.

When his children and grandchildren come to visit there can be chaos within the space because of the abundance of people in the limited area of his apartment. Order must be ceated to make the apartment seem like a peaceful and orderly place even while his family visits as well as allowing him sufficient space to maneuver his wheelchair.
