Lower East Side Housing-Final

Two Bridges Residential Units by Rabia Ali

This phase of the process stems from the chair built below. Above are a series of iterations that accommodate an additional program from the original chair.

Below are three specific units that cater to distinct individuals. The residential complex is located in the Two Bridges Neighborhood, specifically within the Smith Houses, an area composed primarily with immigrant populations. The fist unit is programmed for a small family with newborns. The second and third are targeted toward individual occupants.
