A key aspect of this project was to create spaces of natural interaction between the residents. The walkway within the project depicts the opportunities for social engagement among as people walk through to their homes.
This project is in collaboration with Yume Ebihara and Yanis Newman-Pache

There are two buildings housing different occupants, multi-generational families and student/senior co-living.
To create connectivity between the buildings within the site, walkways have been incorporated linking the communal hang-out spaces for easy accessibility and crossover throughout the homes. The walkways have seating and gardens throughout to encourage spatial usage and maximise occupant interaction opportunities.

The floor to ceiling windows within the bedrooms of the homes are shaded by vertical Blackbutt Timber beams that provide a level of privacy from on-lookers.
There are large walking paths underneath and between the homes connecting buildings and people.

Majority of the circulation happens around the outside of the apartments. These walking paths all connect up with communal spaces where the residents can lounge, study, do washing and connect together.
