Public Housing proposes public housing as a vertical neighborhood embedded within a dense and historic urban fabric. Responding to both local cultural dynamics and pandemic-related living conditions, the project is structured as a semi-permeable system that balances controlled interiors with urban openness.
Housing blocks are organized around courtyards and passages, referencing the peninsula’s existing urban grain while dissolving strict indoor–outdoor boundaries.
Open vertical and horizontal circulation enhances spatial clarity and reduces isolation, while individual units integrate separated clean–dirty zones, private balconies, and flexible rooms. A bare ground-floor carrier system increases pedestrian permeability, and container-based social spaces subtly reference Kadıköy’s maritime culture.
