Mixed use housing

This is a proposal of combining living and retail in the context of an abstract urban square. The house is designed for a family that runs a flower shop and lives together with a grandmother/grandfather on the corner plot of a row-house block.

The flower shop and related facilities are located on the ground floor, so that a maximum exposure to public is provided through the corner commercial access. Located also on the ground floor, the grandmother’s bedroom is easily accessible.

The residential access is intended to connect the grandmother’s room, the 2nd floor apartment and the attic (space for rent) to the urban square, while the garage adn the flower shop dependings are just discretely linked to the stair case, due to their backside position.
