Architectural Renderings House-Fascinating Vertical City Filled With Hexagonal Housing Units





Tay Yee Wei, the Malaysian architect publishing a towering vertical city design filled with hexagonal housing units recently. That unique design offer a solution to urban population growth problems in Asian cities.


The tower itself only serves as a scaffolding. As the population of urban areas fluctuates, modular units can be “plugged in or out” to the structure to accommodate an expanding population.


This vertical city Development was inspired by Le Corbusier’s theory “a house is a machine for living”. This development project essentially rotates a sprawling community into a vertical orientation. The city puts down the initial costs and retains ownership of the primary structure, which is made of reinforced concrete.


 The prefab modules hexagon units can also combined to create larger homes for larger families.


In the other word the residents are able to purchase a “lot” and insert a modular housing unit that can be customized to suit each individual family.


The Plug-in Dwelling project assumes that the development will have a longer lifespan than the city that surrounds it. Wei designed a flexible structure that can be easily dismantled and transported to the next up-and-coming city according to fluctuations in population and economy.






Wei also suggests that many open “lots” could be earmarked for green spaces, recreational areas, and research facilities.
