Social Housing in the Park
Located at the intersection of an established industrial fabric and a newly emerging residential area, the site sits within a neighborhood shaped by layers of urban growth. Alongside a growing number of small businesses that have accompanied the city’s development, the area still retains clusters of well-functioning light industries. This creates a rich and distinctive living environment—one that offers far more character than is typically found around social housing projects in conventional residential zones.
Although the pedestrian infrastructure does not consist entirely of formal sidewalks, there remains a considerable level of connectivity throughout the neighborhood. In fact, the newer residential areas surrounding the site offer the most pleasant and accessible pedestrian experiences.
The most significant amenity near the site is a modestly scaled neighborhood park located directly to its west. This green space plays a vital role in supporting the quality of life in the area, making its relationship with the project a key consideration in the site planning. With its winding paths, mature trees, and open lawns, the park provides an inviting landscape. The design seeks to integrate the housing into this park environment, allowing the green texture of the landscape to extend into the site.
Key community service functions—such as the entrance to the public childcare center and access to the second-floor civic activity center—are oriented toward the park, framing a shared plaza that acts as a generous and welcoming threshold. The pedestrian circulation is carefully aligned with surrounding sidewalks and the park’s existing paths, with proposals for future adjustments to the park’s trail network. These changes aim not only to improve accessibility for users of the civic facilities but also to enhance the overall public character of the development. By linking the project with the strong communal identity of the park, the design aspires to amplify the spatial value of both—the result being greater than the sum of its parts.
The main residential entrance is located on the north side of the site, separated from the entrances to the community service programs for better access control. A continuous looped circulation path begins at the northwest corner of the building, with a series of public seating areas positioned along the route. Residents can enjoy a leisurely stroll through the covered walkway, whether heading toward the service facilities, the park for recreation, or a nearby UBike station. This diversity of movement options reinforces a lifestyle that is deeply connected to the park and community life. The project also seeks to encourage positive interaction with surrounding neighbors and foster a sense of belonging—transforming social housing into a true home.
To further support sustainable mobility, a dedicated public bicycle parking area has been placed along the site’s southern edge. Here, citizens can conveniently park their bicycles and ascend a wide staircase leading directly to the second-floor activity center. This gesture not only improves accessibility but also strengthens the building’s role as a civic anchor embedded in the landscape.
