I really liked this project. Of course, the creation of a universal residential module with a single united public space is an idea that has been haunting the minds of many architects since the beginning of the 20th century. Unlike most architects, the author of the project did not deprive residents of their own kitchen or common room for the sake of public spaces. I am somewhat missing the functional solution of the first floor in order to analyze the possible centers of gravity of the Neighborhood, which will contribute to the unification of residents. In any case, I want to highly note the taste and sophistication of the presented project.
