P Townhouse Proposal - 130 units
New build, 130-unit residential development

Location : South Korea
Client : Private
Year : 2013

**P Townhouse Proposal** is a 130-unit residential development in South Korea, conceived as a neighbourhood of individual homes rather than a single large development.

​

The townhouses are arranged in smaller groups to establish a hierarchy of streets, shared landscapes and private outdoor spaces. The spaces between the buildings form an important part of the design, creating pedestrian routes, communal areas and opportunities for interaction while maintaining privacy for individual homes.

​

A consistent architectural language establishes a clear identity across the development, while variations in the arrangement and orientation of the townhouse groups prevent a repetitive environment.

​

The proposal explores a balance between **density, privacy and community**, creating a residential setting where individual homes contribute to a larger collective character.

Description

- P Townhouse Proposal explores the idea of a new residential neighbourhood where individual homes are brought together to create a coherent and connected community.
 

- The proposal comprises 130 townhouse dwellings, organised as a series of smaller residential groups rather than a single large development. The arrangement creates a hierarchy of spaces, from streets and shared landscape to the more private gardens and entrances of each home.
 

- The townhouse is conceived as the fundamental building block of the neighbourhood. While each dwelling follows a clear and efficient residential arrangement, variations in the grouping, orientation and external spaces help to avoid a repetitive environment and create a sense of identity across the development.
 

- The spaces between the buildings are as important as the buildings themselves. Streets, pedestrian routes and landscaped areas form a network of shared spaces, encouraging movement through the neighbourhood while providing opportunities for informal interaction between residents. At the same time, the arrangement of individual homes creates a transition from these communal spaces to more private domestic gardens and terraces.
 

- The architectural language is intentionally simple and consistent, allowing the overall character of the development to emerge from the relationship between built form, landscape and open space. Repetition provides order, while changes in building position, orientation and grouping introduce variation and a more human scale.
 

- Rather than creating 130 separate houses, the proposal seeks to create one neighbourhood made from many homes — a residential environment where private living and shared community spaces are carefully balanced.
