Symbiotic Structure

In the industrial areas of Sharjah, UAE, there is a lack of sufficient housing for a large number of residents; 18 people crammed in a room for 6 people. We are noticing an increase in laborers and thus, an increase in housing demand.

The project is affordable housing that is an assembly process rather than a construction. It is a prototype of housing that could be assembled at various sites with different configurations. This prototype is to activate the inactive and under-used sites of the industrial areas, the housing achieves this by incorporating programs that invite human traffic. This housing has the potential to grow and multiply over time as the economy expands and the demand for housing increases.
