My vision for a highly scalable, secure, and premium modular student housing solution in the heart of Dili.
As a female entrepreneur in Dili, I intimately understand the systemic vulnerabilities our young women face in Timor-Leste. The daily commute to educational institutions is frequently marred by the threat of harassment. My vision for SOT Girls Student Housing is to provide a "locked-down" but deeply welcoming sanctuary directly between UNPAZ and DIT, eliminating the dangerous commute and fostering academic excellence for our girls.
While the exterior utilizes practical, flat-pack containers to keep costs efficient, I designed the interior for absolute psychological comfort. We are installing full-wall (6x2m) high-resolution murals of Timor Sea beaches or forests in every unit. This low-cost addition drastically elevates the warmth of the 18sqm micro-apartments, making it a place the girls will truly love calling home.
Designed for flat-pack logistics. All 16 units ship in a single 40ft High Cube container.
Optimized 18sqm micro-apartment featuring a private bathroom, kitchenette, dedicated study desk, and storage.
Two blocks facing each other across a 2m central corridor holding the exterior stairs and commercial laundry.
Protected by a massive 14x14m corrugated blue roof, providing an open-air study and social area.
Stunning 3D visualizations of the 18sqm micro-apartments.
