Co-living, Jordbro

Thesis Question: Housing, a human right according to FN is getting more expensive and not necessarily more affordable. Young people and new families have a hard time getting a place to call home. What if through co-living geared specifically towards this group we could drastically increase the amount of high quality but low-cost housing available to this group? So in this project I am going to try and design a co-living building with focus on social space versus private space in a shared living situation for young people. The chosen site is Jordbro in Haninge municipality with 11000 residents. The resulting building design proposes a somewhat more generous coliving solution where everyone’s private space is designed to allow for extra privacy while at the same time giving residents the option to interact more with others throught the diverse shared spaces that at times break floor boundaries (Double height room and atriums). The site choice also offers residents access to nature and the program on the entry floor intends to give back to the surrounding residential buildings in terms of rentable space for parties on weekends and live music during the week days or weekends when it isn’t booked for parties, workshops etc
