The community examines diverse typologies including social housing developments, co-living schemes, refugee accommodation, and adaptive reuse projects that transform underutilized spaces into warm, inclusive residential environments.

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!
