The chosen site; Rue Guernis, presented an opportunity to experiment with a contemporary scheme whilst respecting and maintaining some of the traditional qualities of the medina. The brief attempted to address the problem of providing accommodation within the medina which appeals to younger generation.
The aim was to produce good quality low cost housing, which enables young couples working in the medina to continue to live in the medina whilst gaining privacy and independence from their families.
It was also important to design a space that grows as the families grow; offering them a chance to purchase more space as their families and income grows. The cluster of houses would act as a whole entity, a new community, whilst offering residents complete privacy within their own home.
