Night shift workers face several challenges due to irregular schedules. They suffer from physical health issues and mental health concerns. To address these problems, it is crucial to provide spaces that ensure high-quality sleep.
The unit design incorporates three key features: buffer zones, indirect apertures, and air gaps between rooms. These elements are specifically designed to enhance sleep quality.
Overall, the peripheral layout of this collective housing includes two courtyards, with most windows facing inward toward these courtyards rather than outward toward the surrounding environment. This design aims to create semi-private spaces for residents while offering protection from external disturbances.
