Basic living

Intro

The course dealt with the idea of turning an old disused military compound into single room housing units. - Similar to dorm and hotel rooms.

My focus was to penetrate the ceiling and the several meters of concrete and dirt above to create light intakes.

From the outside the light tunnels will be a sculptural element on the former military battlements, which are now mainly used as a recreational area and park.
Inside the basic living units, the light tunnels will help generate a soft natural lighting.
