“I entered the competition to challenge myself and to showcase my ability to create design solutions that align with modern architectural trends. Competitions like these are a fantastic opportunity to push creative boundaries and gain recognition for unique design perspectives.”

My design stands out due to its aesthetics and sustainable practices. Using an open concept layout, straight edges, and a sleek minimalist look, I created a space that is visually appealing and functional. The design emphasizes accessibility with ramps and flat surfaces, reducing the need for stairs and making it open to everyone, especially the elderly. The interior layout and bathroom specifications accommodate wheelchair maneuverability, ensuring inclusivity and user-friendliness.

My design tackles the brief’s requirements by integrating accessibility through ramps and flat surfaces, ensuring inclusivity for all, especially the elderly. Sustainability is addressed with solar panels to reduce energy costs and promote renewable energy use. Water conservation is achieved using rainwater harvesting through the water tank. This smooth and simple design, with modern aesthetics, features an open yard space for potential gardening, making it visually appealing and functional.
