Explore This Amazing WorkCatch The Wind Multi Unit Housing
Catch The Wind is a centrally located rental housing complex that integrates an innovative balcony design to enhance urban connection and airflow. Unlike traditional balconies, its three dimensional structure captures wind, circulating fresh air through chambers in the closet and bathroom ceilings to improve indoor air quality. This economical approach uses off the shelf materials, addressing post pandemic social and environmental needs by enhancing resident interaction with the outdoor environment.
