to the vertical Low-rise Residential for Workers in Bantargebang, Bekasi Final Project Supervisor: Dr. Samsirina, S.T., M.T. The rapid expansion of the industrial area in Bekasi attracts workers to settle in. However, the inadequacy of housing supply leads to underperforming housing rent that could be reached by their purchasing power. A worker housing plans to be built on 1.9 ha area of land in Bantargebang, Bekasi to accommodate the housing needs of ever-growing industrial workers in Bantargebang. The project is expected to improve the quality and productivity of workers in Bantargebang.
The design process of this housing
project data
focuses on the issue of affordability and the transition of interaction pattern to the vertical ones. Workers have an attachment to the social structure built on horizontal housing plans. To the Vertical states the shift and adjustment of the horizontal housing interaction patterns to vertical ones. The final design aims to accommodate the adjustments needed for workers to adapt and make connections easily in a new environment. This worker housing consists of several blocks, divided by gender and marital status of future residents. Affordability is a big issue since this housing is purposed for the lower working class. .Also, I found that recreating a new social structure and attachment is an urgency. Therefore, this housing design will hold on to that view.

Each block has communal space in between blocks. Every communal space meets at one long communal chord which has large enough space for the block cluster residences to use. This chord has a higher communal space hierarchy, so it can be used by larger demographics.

This
interlocking pattern produces defined spaces for communal space for each floor. This modular system is also used to synchronize the single worker block and family block within this housing, so the structure system is exactly the same. Because of that, the manufacture and installation become identic, thus reducing the construction time and cost.
The identical arrangement between a single block and a family block designed to accommodate the ever-fluctuating demands from the market. I designed a 12 modules room (+3 more modules for bathroom and drying ground) and to be interchangeable between a young family and three single workers. So, the possibility of unaccommodated workers because the lack of a designated room is reduced to almost none.
To make this housing more affordable to the lower working class of Bantargebang, I used a simple concrete column and beam structure. I used a covered brick wall to ensure an easy construction. Also, all the bathroom is aligned vertically for efficiency purposes. The proximity of communal perks to the unit who used it makes it easier for maintenance purposes. All shared properties, such as food stalls and common rooms, are located on the ground floor. For connectivity purposes, all the ground floor from each block is connected by a social chord.
