Youth housing
Housing design and community spaces created for young people, including shared living, transitional housing, and purpose-built residential schemes.
Youth housing encompasses residential projects designed specifically for young adults and adolescents, addressing their distinct social, economic, and lifestyle needs. These projects range from shared living arrangements and co-housing models to transitional facilities and community hubs that combine accommodation with social support.
The community explores diverse approaches to youth housing through adaptive reuse of existing spaces, new-build social housing schemes, and mixed-use developments that integrate living areas with work and gathering spaces. Projects address varied contexts including refugee housing, affordable urban schemes, and purpose-built communities designed around shared facilities and green spaces.
