Design process: after analyzing the site conditions, we collected more information from the client and from the municipality of Kangasala. One important aspect in the design phase was the simulation of possible usergroups for the housing. From all this info a wide selection of alternative floor plans were generated. After a thorough evalutation process a set of sketches was chose to be upgrade by the architects on users own wishes. Below is published one set of sketches that could be developed into an innovative housing design.
