Co-Habiting
Design approaches to shared living spaces, from cohousing communities to collaborative residential schemes.
Co-habiting explores how designers approach residential projects that prioritize community, shared amenities, and collective living. The topic covers both large-scale housing developments and intimate shared spaces that balance private and communal areas.
Members examine cohousing models that integrate green spaces and shared facilities, adaptive reuse projects that create warm shared living environments, and unconventional collaborative retreats. The work demonstrates strategies for designing residential schemes where shared space becomes central to the living experience.
