The staff housing rehabilitation presented an opportunity to reimagine a once-utilitarian structure into a dignified and high-performing living environment. Originally conceived as a maintenance facility and later adapted into staff accommodation, the building had fallen into significant disrepair over time. The intervention therefore focused on a comprehensive internal reconfiguration, introducing a new spatial logic composed of private capsule bedrooms, shared amenities, and en-suite units.

Central to the redesign was a commitment to passive environmental strategies, aimed at minimizing reliance on mechanical cooling while enhancing indoor air quality. The project integrates a vertical stack chimney within the existing pitched roof, coupled with a linear opening through the floor slab that connects both levels. This configuration establishes a natural suction effect, promoting continuous air movement throughout the building. Each bedroom is positioned along the external envelope and equipped with operable louvers at the door interface, ensuring controlled cross-ventilation and adaptive comfort.
