Conceptual Homeless Shelter

Project idea

Nowadays, there are many homeless individuals, and many of them form bonds with homeless pets. For these reasons, the unit was created for both homeless people and pets. The Yin Yang sign is inspiration for creating a balance between affordability and comfort as well as between homeless people and their pets. Balance is also between solid and void ratios and voids ratio in walls and ceiling. The project's secondary goal was enclosure.
