Designing for co-living
A key element of this project was designing with user conflict in mind – an inevitable situation within shared living. To alleviate tension and promote peaceful cohabitation, I focused on achieving a careful balance between communal and private spaces. Creating a range of living and kitchen areas on multiple floors provides flexibility to residents and helps to reduce the pressure on communal zones. These spaces are deliberately spacious, with generous circulation between fixtures and thoroughly considered layouts, the design allows residents to move both comfortably and intuitively.
By considering flexibility, comfort and social dynamics when designing, I’ve created an environment that encourages healthy interaction whilst minimising any potential disputes or discomfort between users, promoting a more sustainable and considered model of co-living.
