Jenga

The project is a public building at the entrance of a residential community, occupying 1200 square meters and housing four main functions: commercial space, community lobby, property management office, and equipment room. However, space constraints arise due to setbacks from adjacent buildings and redline restrictions. Drawing inspiration from the childhood game Jenga, the design integrates each functional area like interconnected blocks, resulting in a cohesive and unified exterior façade, enhancing overall unity.
