Beyond slums. From camps to cities

Since the outbreak of the civil war in march 2011, millions of Syrians have fled their homes heading to an unknown future. Determined the moment they crossed their country’s border. A border used to be a wall that protects but today it became a drawn line on a map that defines who you are and determines futures.

The design approach is to take the border back to what it used to be, a symbol of protection and provide a sustainable framework for the refugees to once again become citizens. by planting their own food, and building their own homes and let them have the opportunity to define what the border will be like and place an entire nation that has its citizens lives on the edge, back to the edge.

The community features prestige parkland homesites that blend the best of modern living with an extended ‘natural backyard’ by linking residents to the adjoining nature reserve via a private pathway. The reserve is home to many species of fauna including wallabies, herons and the Eastern Grey kangaroo.

Project “Ash” required 15 images, from exteriors, roof garden with the pool, to interiors and couple vignettes. We took the project after finishing commissioned part and worked on it a bit longer, the result you can see here.
