CO-LIVING HOUSE
The residents of this house are six people from three different generations. They are three couples, aged 20, 40 and 60, respectively. They have known each other for a long time and feel like family to one another. On this basis, the first decision taken was for a building whereby everything is shared. There are no walls in the house.

Redefine the Private and Shared Space of Cohousing
This project proposes the investigation of spatial layers within the Co-housing typology to challenge the balance and relationship between private and shared space. The design insertion speculates by redefining the boundary between private and shared space in today’s shared living conditions and will introduce a new sharing method for young professionals.
Great job! Really like it.
Dwell (eve
Focusing on boundaries, privacy, community, level, sustainability, modular construction is good, but designed spaces looks a bit boring or noisy (specially wood louver on facade and solar power roof top.) And presentation should be more sophisticated both exterior and interior renderings. Idea should be presented in more simple way.
Il progetto è buono nel complesso, la particolare semplicità dell'impianto generale suggerisce un ulteriore approfondimento/arricchimento dell'aspetto architettonico e distributivo.
Good organization of buildings and open spaces because the central path is like an "open room" in which to walk or stop. The architecture is very interesting and well represented
