Middle income group housing, Mirpur, Dhaka

Abstract

Housing in Dhaka, one of the most populous cities in the world has become more of a necessity rather than ambition. Due to socio-economic reasons, Dhaka is currently with scarcity of lands for providing home for its inhabitants. As a result, along with the expansion of the area of Dhaka, Government is looking forward to go for multi-storied apartments as housing solutions within the city. The project proposal is mainly for the middle income group government employee. Considering the density standard, the given proposal is questioned and an intention to create houses was made rather than just housing people. At present, the existing site is under green belt with lots of trees and open spaces flowing from North-West towards East of the given site. In order to keep vista across the site, the housing project is designed with an ideal solution in the given context.
