“A house is a machine for living in.” – Le Corbusier
It is estimated that by 2050, 2.5 billion people will be living in major cities as the housing supply becomes increasingly costly and limited. As an alternative, amenity-based models of living (or “co-living”) are blurring the distinction between long-term ownership and short-term rentals by grouping people with shared intentions and interests to create housing types out of communities.

We were tasked with the challenge of shaping the office of tomorrow that would be shared between four independent media production companies.
Given this context, the proposal seeks to increase the degree of flexibility within what is conceptually a single room occupancy by enabling occupants the ability to manipulate the extents of their unit and comingle uses to yield a diverse mix of suite configurations. A rational grid of structure organizes the utilities (electrical and plumbing services) and forms the armature upon which demising walls can be rotated to change the division of space and circulation. With this model, strong bonds and affinities can be built to resolve the social isolation often found in entirely independent housing units.
