CONCEPT

TETRIS + LONGHOUSE

TETRIS CONCEPT FUTURE EXTENSION

LONGHOUSE CONCEPT

THE TETRIS CONCEPT IS DERIVED FROM THE CONTAINER STUDENT HOUSING PROJECT - CITE A DOCKS IN LE HAVRE, FRANCE, WHEREBY, HOUSES ARE STACKED ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER NOT ONLY FOR AESTHETIC VALUES BUT THEY ALSO EASY AND CHEAPER TO CONSTRUCT AND EXPAND.

PR1MA HOMES FOCUS ON THE LOW INCOME GROUP PROVIDING THEM AFFORDABLE HOUSING & ALSO TO FORM A COMMUNITY OF DIFFERENT FAMILY ETNICITY. THE IDEA IS SIMILAR TO THE TRADITIONAL AND HISTORICAL CONCEPT FROM EASTERN MALAYSIA WHICH IS THE LONGHOUSE.

TRADITIONALLY THE LONGHOUSE IS BUILT TO UNITE THEIR COMMUNITY UNDER ONE ROOF. HENCE THE ADAPTATION OF THE LONG HOUSE IS THE MOST IDEAL FOR THE PRINCIPLES OF PR1MA HOUSING.

BY CREATING A UNIQUE PATTERN WHILE STACKING THEM ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER, NEGATIVE SPACES BETWEEN THE CONTAINERS / UNITS ENABLE SPACES LIKE GREENERIES & COMMUNAL SPACES. AS WELL AS ALLOWING NATURAL VENTILATION INTO THE BUILDING.

IBS

- Speed of Construction - Reduce on site labour cost - Increase productivity & quality at construction site - Minimal Wastage - Environmentally Friendly Construction Process - Flexibility for Expansions - Ability to service remote locations

UNITE D’HABITATION

BY LE CORBUSIER

COMMERCIAL - More materials required - Workmanship required - Requires more work labour - Produce more construction waste - Hazardous construction site - Hostile working environment - Requires longer construction duration

BUILDING CONSTRUCTION MODULAR SYSTEM

THE MODULAR SYSTEM REQUIRES THE EXTERIOR OF THE MODULES TO BE CONSTRCUTED & PRE-FABRICATED IN AN EXTERIOR FACILITY AND THEN DELIVERED TO THE INTENDED SITE. USING A CRANE, THE MODULES ARE SET ONTO THE BUILDING’S FOUNDATION AND JOINED TOGETHER TO CREATE A SINGULAR BUILDING. THE MODULES CAN BE PLACED SIDE-BY-SIDE, END-TO-END OR STACKED ALLOWING A WIDE VARIETY OF CONFIGURATIONS AND STYLES IN THE BUILDING LAYOUT. NOT ONLY THAT, THIS SYSTEM HAS ALLOW US IN EXPANDING THE MODULES, INCREASING THE DENSITY.

COMMUNITY SPACES

THE NEGATIVE SPACES IN BETWEEN THE UNITS HAVE ALSO CREATED COMMUNITY AREAS FOR THE RESIDENTS

GREEN POCKETS

NEGATIVE SPACES BETWEEN ALL UNITS ARE USED AS GREEN POCKETS

NATURAL VENTILATION

BY HAVING THE NEGATIVE SPACES IN BETWEEN ALL UNITS, WIND IS EASILY VENTILATED THROUGH THE BUILDING.

OPENINGS WERE CREATED FOR THE SUB BASEMENT TOWARDS THE GROUND LEVEL TO ENABLE VENTILATION IN THE SUB BASEMENT LEVEL

THE FRAGMENTATION OF THE TETRIS CONCEPT DESIGN HAS ALLOW NATURAL VENTILATION THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE BUILDING

FROM THE CENTRAL AXIS, IT CREATES A LINEAR AXIS DIRECTLY FROM THE ENTRANCE DROP OFF TO THE COMMERCIAL AREA LOCATED AT THE RETAINING POND.

BY DIVIDING THE ZONES, THE TETRIS CONCEPT DESIGN IS DESIGNATED FOR ONLY THE STUDIO HOUSING & THE 800 SQFT UNITS HOUSING FOR LIGHTER & EASY CONSTRUCTION & EXPANSION

SPREADING OUT TO THE DIAGONAL AXIS, IT SPREADS OUT TO THE 800 SQFT UNITS HOUSING, EACH CLUSTER OF THE HOUSING CONSIST OF THEIR OWN VERTICAL CIRCULATION THAT LINKS TO THE PLAZA AS WELL AS CORRIDORS ON EACH LEVEL TO LINK TWO CLUSTERS TOGETHER.

THE 1000 SQFT UNITS HOUSING HAVE BEEN LOCATED ON TOP TO FORM AN ELONGATED ‘L’ SHAPED BLOCK. THESE 2 BLOCKS ARE USED TO TIE BACK THE LOWER PORTION OF THE DESIGN TO UNIFY ALL AS A COMMUNITY FOR THE RESIDENTS.

FROM THE PLAZA, IT CREATES A HORIZONTAL AXIS TOWARDS THE LANDSCAPED DESIGINATED WALKWAY AROUND THE SITE.
