Affordable Housing Concept

2016

Affordable family housing for a Tribeca apartment building considered that the need for private vs. shared space evolves over the course of our lives—as children, we require more shared space for play; as teenagers, we prefer to socialize in private; as adults, we use shared spaces for entertaining and private spaces to recharge.

A concept was developed to accommodate these changing requirements for a family of four over the course of a long duration, guided by a material/financial constraint of inflexible incomes.
