Ege Intergenerational Care & Craft Compound

Konak, Izmir, TurkeySocial Housing / Adaptive Reuse2024

Designed as a resilience-focused enclave against urban displacement, this project reinterprets the traditional Ege Neighborhood morphology into a self-sufficient compound. By weaving together modular timber housing, a vocational workshop, and healthcare facilities around a central 'living street,' the design fosters intergenerational solidarity and economic resilience for the local Roma community.
