In collaboration with Hazima Smajlović, NGO Naš Izvor, Engineers Without Borders, and the Gradačac municipality, The House for Five Women provides habitation for single, socially disadvantaged women in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Shaped on the principles of co-living, the five self-contained rooms are situated around a shared living, handwork and garden spaces to allow both privacy and foster interdependence. Working closely with TEN, landscape architect Daniel Ganz harmonized the building with its surroundings, setting and planting trees from surroundings, taking care of ground surfaces and developing a layout for the garden, while artist Shirana Shahbazi orchestrated the structure with color that transformed the facade into a dynamic interplay. A kind of tapestry continuously changing appearance. The building was constructed through on-site dialogue with local building contractors.
