This communal housing project proposes a campus where flexible office spaces for remote workers are gradually integrated with intergenerational family residences. A contrasting formal language of quarter-circles and rectilinear geometry generates transitions between open and enclosed spaces, further reinforced by changes in flooring and ceiling heights. This interplay also extends into masses and voids, delineating interior nooks or passageways and public access versus private courtyards. Business, pleasure; squares, curves; public, private — this spatial design offers a holistic approach to work-life balance that rejects the severance of the office worker from their identity as a community member.
