Engage in a multitude of creative tasks to search out for solutions to the global available housing shortage.
The participants were asked to design a pilot-phase concept for affordable housing within New York City, which could be easily rolled out to increase capacity of housing stock, and is minimal in its use of land and materials.
Designs for the New York Affordable Housing Challenge had to be able be implemented in various locations across the city and be adaptable, allowing adjustments to be made in order to suit different residential capacity requirements.

A simple L-shaped configuration lends itself to the concept of out of view or “out of sight” design, with the visual effect expanding the impression of the interior beyond normal expectations. Adjusting its orientation and layout means the L-shaped units are endlessly adaptable and can create versatile yet affordable constructs anywhere in the city.

Combining density with diversity, the Table Top project tackles New York’s affordable housing crisis with this modular design. Introducing three types of apartment configuration, the resulting apartment blocks have a deliberate misalignment, creating vertical courtyards to give open space for circulation, light, and air.

Designed to fit into a typical narrow New York City slot site, this project looks to build urbanism inside the building with a collection of various living styles. Occupants are given the option to install temporary columns to create unique layouts to suit their individual needs.

Based on recent research claiming most urban structures could safely support a vertical addition, this project suggests modular wooden extension could provide a sustainable and cost-effective solution to New York’s affordable housing crisis. The system is flexible enough to adapt to many different shapes and could allow for additional housing to be introduced without disturbing existing historical structures of displacing current tenants.

Project in virtual reality full project presentationAs part of the Bee Breeders and Vividly collaboration, virtual reality is adopted as a powerful tool for
embracing the concept design process, empowering communication and decision making at any stage
of project development.
Virtual reality today serves as a new medium for developing relevant and globally impactful ideas
by allowing to simulate urban setup, engage communities and confirm decisions based on real-scale
experiences.
Create a concept for affordable, versatile housing for the relocated Chinese farmers.
