Living Layers - Progress

This project aims to incorporate layers of private, semi-private, semi-public, and public spheres to create a productive co-living space. The private is represented by the individual dwelling units, consisting of one or two bedrooms and some private amenities. The semi-private is the shared kitchen, laundry, and lounge areas where residents can intermingle with one another. The semi-public space is the small urban rooftop farm. While the farm is primarily for the residents, it is still open to the public, accessible from both the street and the park. The public food hall is what brings everything together. The crops harvested from the farm above help supply the food vendors below, providing the area with healthy food options, something that is currently lacking. All the residents work together to sustain the food hall. Whether that be through farming, cooking, selling, or even cleaning, everyone has a shared goal: providing the perfect co-living environment.
