To enhance the spatial quality in the northern part, the empty space above was extended down to the second basement level. Transforming it into green space near the pool and creating a view for the sports facilities were outcomes of this decision, which also ensured natural light and ventilation.
The decision to appropriately organize the massing on the site and to allow the empty space to penetrate both horizontally and between floors, challenging the boundaries by intervening in the residential unit floor plans, changing the typical typology of floor arrangements, and re-defining intermediary spaces, while considering the diversity of spatial sequences, were key tools for advancing the overarching strategy of the Awan project, which seeks to answer the question of how to realize a home within an apartment in an urban context.
