Profitable Affordable Housing
Profitable Affordable Housing is a shared apartment with 45 units. Each unit only includes one bedroom, while areas such as the kitchen, living room, dining room, and bathrooms are shared.
The building is located at the intersection of two non-vertical streets. To increase profits, several huge billboards were inserted into the building blocks, and half of the first floor of the building was also leased as commercial space.

Surrounding
Facade
The circulations are designed as metal mesh billboards. Live sports, commercial ads, and public arts can be projected to make a profit and attract attention.
Billboard Display Angle
Bedroom Windows Angle
By managing the location of each piece of billboard, the display angle and range are optimized, so people walking or driving will see them unconsciously.
Moreover, none of the bedroom windows faces the billboards, so the residents won't be interrupted by them.
The courtyard is in the center of the messing, while some double-floor high spaces are used for co-living areas to create more vertical special communication.
The pocket park is open to the city. It provides a public space for the citizens to stay and relax.
The shape and material of the landscape are similar to the main building, which makes them look like the extension of the building.
The facade is made of terracotta, which is a sustainable material and 100% recyclable. The color and shape of the terracotta tile look like brick, which provides a sense of cozy and welcome.
