The drawings were made to demonstrate
the added value to a neglected lot currently located
in a building zone for public facilities and infrastructure. There is an old power station that has long been dismantled and has outlived its original
purpose. By proposing to reuse the old buildings and maintain the architectural and cultural heritage, the ambition is to ignite change to its direct environment and to respond to rezoning the land accordingly. Many previous studies have
stipulated that the site could easily host high-quality residences with the
capacity to expand the perimeter of the village center nearby.
The land is situated parallel to a busy road on one side and along a small creek and lush greenery on the other. This proposal aims to moderate the transition from one to the other. At the front, there is the main road with a busy and open character. In the middle, is a secluded alley that is free of traffic and filled with terraces and greenery. At the back end, a meadow with fruit trees and a small forest makes for a lush garden to play in.
