Planning & affordability 

The affordability was the key factor in the mind of the architect, which is why Solo 01 is designed with metal scraps of busses and trucks to keep the end price as minimal as possible. The Solo 01 is a space with double functionality that includes a residence and commercial space for vendors. The house also has a foyer, and a terrace area, and also additional space for a vendor to do sales.
