Holmestown
In the context of mass housing design, blending in with the existing surroundings can be seen as a safer approach. However, for this housing project, we intentionally creating a contrasting environment that offers a fresh, and modern perspective, by breaking away from convention, offering individuality, privacy, and modernity to its residents. The residence presents a unique aesthetic, featuring a recessed wall design and a front patch of greenery for visual distinction. Embracing an open-plan layout, the design promotes cross-ventilation, while tall ceilings facilitate stack ventilation and abundant daylight. A strategically positioned ventilation block on the facade serves dual purposes filtering east and west sunlight and optimizing cross ventilation on the first floor. With a focus on affordability, Holmestown harmonizes aesthetic appeal, functionality, and sustainable living in its thoughtfully designed 2-storey terrace houses.

In a world where conformity often takes precedence, this innovative housing development dares to be different. By intentionally contrasting with its surroundings, offering individuality through design, providing privacy with purposeful facades, embracing light and space, and allowing for flexible expansion, it stands as a better example of modern housing design.
