Thinking beyond the conventional domestic space, as seen above we have taken a drastic approach to our idea of Share House living. The private spaces are open to the other areas in the house, allowing for a free flowing floor plan.
MODEL (1:50)
The first image shows the structure in relation to a "typical" rectangular structure. The second image shows off the only closed off space in the entire house as we place heavy emphasis on communal living, except for the bathroom. The interior shot of the stairs that lead from the front up to the boutique show how although you still enter the "private dwelling" it avoids all the actual private spaces such as bathroom and bedrooms.
PROJECT AIM
Denis Wood and Robert Beck once stated, “What is home for a child but a field of rules?”. The Share House explores how we can break away from conventional ways of living for something completely different. In this sense there is no repercussion to breaking the rules, only finding out new modes of living that were once not thought of. We were able to achieve this in our Share House model by removing interior walls (with the exception of the bathroom), as well as surrounding all available sides of the structure with glass. Coming together in the name of fashion and community, the clothes we produce and sell create the private barriers from all windows, as well as becoming the wall. Not only that, voids on the bottom floor become a runway to showcase our creations, spreading word to the wider community. It isn’t a bad thing to break the rules.
