Manchester’s city center is expanding as the population is growing. The city requires good quality affordable housing despite the large ongoing developments. Although Manchester is attractive for students and young professionals, the family ideal is still to move out to the suburbs.

Designing for Creative People The aim is to create homes for people in creative industries and disperse the vision of the urban environment as an uninspiring place to live. We all are creative in different ways and deserve to be moved by the places we inhabit.
Work as an Artist Work as part of the everyday
A creative project is never ending and cannot be separated from the every day of the creator. To create, we need privacy, however, occasional interactions foster knowledge spillover.
Directions of Individual Projects (interactions foster new ideas)
Unit arrangement to foster encounters
Building Creativity Using Maslow’s hierarchy of needs as a guideline to establish the steps to build a creative environment. Residential architecture is ultimately about maximising the opportunity for people to be happy and satisfied in the place they live in.

Integrative Brief
Design Question How can we build inspiring housing for a creative community in the city? “They ought not to live in our cities; there is that in their miserable walls bricks up to death men’s imagination, as surely ever peished forsworn nun. An architect should live as little in cities as a painter.” -John Ruskin
2.2 | Mylan Thuroczy
Nature as a primary source of Inspiration The aim of the project is to create housing in the city which is equally inspiring as a dwelling in a natural environment. The built environment has an impact on our imagination and curiosity. Places which encourage people to touch, feel and explore foster creative thinking. Conversely, creative thinking is linked to the desire to shape our environment for the better, resulting in a virtuous cycle to create more inspiring cities.

Sustainability BUILDING SYSTEM LANDSCAPING
FLOOD MANAGEMENT
PASSIVE STRATEGIES
Building System and Materials Steel Frame -recyclable and reprogrammable as a built structure -quick construction -prefabricated elements, minimal waste on site CLT Pods -prefabricated elements, reduced waste and construction time -low embodied energy -carbon capture and storage -health benefits for inhabitants
Flood Management
2.2 | Mylan Thuroczy
-landscaping for flood zones -elevated living units -non-residential programs on the ground floor -more robust material use in areas prone to flooding -retention pond -pile foundation -landscaping to slow water flow

Landsacping and Nature -public park and tree planting on ground floor -green wall towards the river -vegetation pods on elevated walkways ->good air quality ->mental health benefits ->fostering biodiversity ->better environment for creative work
Passive Strategies -pv panels -rainwater harvesting for irrigation -central waste and sewage management

concrete screed with underfloor heating
CLT Pods -assembly of prebricated CLT structure -adding internal walls and elements -plugging in services -adding openings and finishes -wall and roof cladding -adding furniture

Void Spaces in the steel frame can be used for personalised programmes and lightweight interventions e.g. community garden, green house -the workshop on site can provide tools
Primary Steel Frame -sunken vegetation strip around units -steel handrails -150mm corrugated metal decking with concrete infill -metal cable bracing -200×100mm secondary I beams (6000mm span) -320×130mm I beams (6000mm span) -400×400mm columns sections (24 000mm maximum height) (the information was updated after the drawing was done, the revised structure is shown in the exploded axonometric in the previous sheets)
The Steel Frame can accomodate a green wall mesh and be used to display large Artworks -blocking views from neighbouring building -create shading in the summer
Prefabricated Living Units -the modular units allow for easy personalisation in the interior CLT Unit Wall Build-Up -15mm timber panel cladding -30mm timber battens -waterproof layer -150mm rigid insulation -100mm CLT panels

CLT Unit Ground Floor Build-Up -60mm screed with under floor heating -30mm insultion -100 CLT floor slab -150mm rigid insulation -waterproof layer CLT Unit Roof Build-Up -standing seem roof sheet -waterproof membrane -100mm rigid insulation -vapour barrier -60mm CLT roof slab -suspended CLT ceiling CLT Unit First Floor Build-Up -15mm timber flooring on battens (void for services) -60mm screed with under floor heating -30mm insulation -100mm CLT floor slab -suspended CLT ceiling (lighting) -insulation wrapped around the unit provide sound proofingl -CLT panles prefabricated in the factory, assembled and connected to services on the primary frame -alternative cladding material can be required (e.g. zinc, corten,..)
Steel Bridge to the Studio Spaces -divided Live-Work relationship in the complex allow for social encounters -individual studio spaces provide a quiet environment to create
Ground Floor Programme and Landscaping -non-residential activities -porous public space -Ground Floor Wall Build-up -brick infill into the primary steel frame
-the landscaping create zones to be flooded -the retention pond is integrated into the landscaping and together with the planting create a welcoming environment

Flood Management -level changes -retention pond -pile foundation -non-residential programmes -more robust cladding materials
