We worked on a sprawling property on two blocks of a large-scale project designed by multiple architects. In one, we strived to design the houses buried inside the property and in an attempt to be part of it, whereas with the other, we tried to create houses that appear to have been released and perched on the rocks. We discussed and deliberated over two different perspectives on the same geography and with same program. Since we could not decide which would be the right way to go, we decided to work on two different blocks with two different proposals.
It appears that despite the similarities on the level of uniformity in terms of functionality and the capacity of meeting various needs, the final settlements will carry their own, unique features.
