### Overview
The project located in the urban village of Gangxia, Shenzhen, China, aims to provide housing solutions for 25 single-family units while addressing issues tied to urbanization, density, and community identity in a rapidly evolving area. The design focuses on fostering a collective housing environment that balances community engagement with individual privacy, effectively mitigating the sense of isolation often experienced in densely populated settings.

### Spatial Configuration and Community Integration
The layout consists of staggered building blocks that form terraces and communal amenities, promoting social interaction among residents. These formations not only enhance natural light and airflow but also contribute to the creation of engaging communal areas. The incorporation of outdoor balconies and shared spaces on upper levels fosters opportunities for leisure and connection, supporting a collective living experience while addressing the high-density conditions characteristic of the urban landscape.

### Materiality and Sustainability
The choice of materials emphasizes both local relevance and sustainability. The project utilizes reinforced concrete for structural resilience, while wood elements enhance warmth in interior finishes. Extensive use of glass promotes transparency, encouraging a visual connection between the indoor and outdoor environments. Metal cladding adds durability and a contemporary aesthetic to the external facades. This material strategy not only responds to functional needs but also reflects a commitment to environmentally-conscious design principles, contributing to a sustainable urban fabric.
