Today's individuals face immense pressure to manage social media, work, and personal life, leading to stress and isolation. This collective studio project emphasizes community interaction by incorporating shared spaces. Inspired by the Kraftwerk project in Zurich, there are three levels of shared areas: an exterior gathering space for recreation, collaborative environments like co-working areas and cafe, and cluster units with shared kitchens and living rooms to encourage conversation and shared responsibility between neighbors. For privacy, residents have individual bedrooms and bathrooms that suit their needs. The building promotes sustainability with natural light, ventilation, and materials like Mass Timber, aiming to create a supportive environment that encourages a shared lifestyle.
