Affordable housing addresses the critical challenge of providing dignified living spaces for people across economic circumstances. Designers working in this area balance practical constraints with the need to create communities that support wellbeing and social connection.

The community explores housing typologies for specific populations including young professionals, seniors, refugees, and migrant workers, alongside strategies for integrating affordable units into existing urban neighborhoods and repurposing spaces for mixed-use living and working.

Farm/House, A Hustle Hub for Young Hustler

Farm/House is a new housing strategy that combines housing with urban farming. Here, a young hustler who doesn't have much money to rent a house at the city center can rent as they need. They can rent the initial minimum house unit that can be extended later. The unused housing space that they don't rent will work as urban farming. Simple and profitable!
