This project began with a programmatic problem: How can three distinct yet related programs, each with its own formal logic, coexist across three architectural layers—creating a shared environment for living and working—without disrupting the urban rhythm around it?
Our design approach is based on a framework that shifts between problems, position, and condition.
The programs are considered not just as functional demands but as forces of field—each capable of generating a new spatial condition. We call this a Refield—a state that emerges when architecture re-negotiates context through its own language.
Our latest project is a modular housing complex in London, designed for recent graduates. It combines three networks to provide living, working, and urban spaces within a single structure. The ground layer features intersecting axes providing commercial spaces and vertical circulation, supported by the utility cores. This open space promotes urban activity through commercial units.
The second layer forms a circular volume with a central square void and accommodates a coworking space surrounded by cultural and recreational functions, while the second layer forms a circular volume with a central square void and accommodates a coworking space surrounded by cultural and recreational functions.
The third layer consists of 280 residential units arranged diagonally around the main voids and courtyards. Each level rotates 90° from the one below, with terraces located on rooftops. Through the residential levels, vertical connections including central nodes and staircases, enhance spatial interaction.
