HIGH ABOVE THE GROUND
Spring semester
Due to the explosion of a nuclear station, a lot of people died. The few survivors led by a former military doctor decided to build a village above the ground in order to escape the toxicity of the nearby area. I was charged to design a comfortable living space and care unit for the doctor in the limits of 40 cubic meters.
We started with bubble diagrams in order to understand the relationships between all the elements and how the space is going to be divided.
Village imaginations to explore the relationship between all the units and the circulations.

The second floor contains the bathroom, kitchen, parent's bedroom, and the kid's bedroom.
- The reason why I separated the two sleeping spaces is mainly because I wanted to give some privacy to the parents, and in order to achieve this I used two different bed systems: Sliding bed (Under the kitchen) for the parents, and a rotating bed for the kid so as when not used, can turn the space into a work/play space.

The first floor contains the care unit.
- The care unit should be a safe place and cannot be contaminated. So as the reason to put it underneath the living unit in order to to allow the doctor to work in a quiet space.
