HARMONIA HOUSING
Repeated housing or singular object, domestic module or urban figure, ceramic craft or digital assembly: this proposal fluctuates between these pairs without fully resolving them. The project is organized as a collection of compact residential volumes, repeated in sequence but differentiated through curvature, color, and sectional variation. Each unit operates as a small vessel for living. The modules are narrow and efficient, stacking sleeping, cooking, bathing, and living spaces within a tight footprint. Their curved walls swell and taper, turning the standardized module into a more spatially generous interior. As the units aggregate, they produce a larger building that reads alternately as a row of individual dwellings, a continuous urban block, and a patterned ceramic mass. The geometry is disciplined but not rigid. Straight structural frames establish repetition, while concave and convex surfaces bend through each module, producing arched thresholds, softened corners, and moments of compression and release. The housing is therefore both systematic and figural: a matrix of repeatable units that still carries the presence of crafted objects. The exterior is clad in small glazed ceramic tiles, arranged as fields of green, blue, amber, terracotta, and deep red. Across the curved surfaces, the tile turns the volume into a tactile mosaic, registering light, shadow, and scale. The material effect sits between handmade ornament and digital pixelation, giving the housing a civic presence while preserving the intimacy of the individual dwelling.
