It’s about a multi-family residence in the hilly areas of Chittagong. With the rise of individuality in this generation and the future, what role can an architect play?
SHOMPORKO means RELATIONSHIPS which seems to be simple but is hardly so! Relationships are not only between people but between roofs and walls, between nature and structure as well. Considering the building to be a part of the regular celebration architecture brings, SHOMPORKO means to mend all relationships: tangible and intangible, with a gentle push through our surface narrative. Keeping all this in mind, a multi-family residence in the hilly areas of Chittagong is designed, where the head of the family lives on the upper floor and the rest of the family members on other floors.
