COLLECTIVE CO-LIVING

This project aims to combine different forms of access (private, semi-public, and public) to create the conditions for a co-living space. The private is represented by the individual dwelling units, consisting of one, two, or three bedrooms and some private amenities such as bathrooms and kitchenettes. The semi-private starts with the shared kitchen, laundry, and lounge areas where residents can intermingle with one another. The other part of the semi-private sphere is the urban farm, which all residents have access to. The public element of the project is the food hall on the ground floor, which is meant to provide better food options for the community. While not fully supplying the food necessary for the food hall, the crops harvested from the farm above are used by the stands in the hall. This residence is meant to house those who work here. Tasks such as farming, cooking, cleaning, and administration are all done by residents of the building, creating not just a co-living environment, but also a co-working environment. The transition between the public, semi-private, and private spaces allows the concept of co-living to be used in a productive way.
