CO-HOUSING
SPRING 2024 - THIRD YEAR - PROF. HUGH SWIATEK
EXTERIOR PERSPECTIVE
This cohousing project is designed with the visionary concept of seamlessly integrating the living space with the natural environment, epitomizing the idea of 'tying the site with the house.' This unique development aims to create a harmonious habitat that supports both human residents and local wildlife. By strategically organizing the housing into clusters of four units each, positioned around a central slough, the layout ensures that each home enjoys unobstructed views while maintaining a sense of community and connectivity. The arrangement fosters a living experience that is as enriching for its human inhabitants as it is beneficial for the local fauna, establishing a model of sustainable and community-focused living.
