The community was chosen as the main topic and aim of the project. Therefore, the building was designed to support its life in the city. “Co-city” would be a space for young adults, nomads, single parents and anyone who is ready to share their lives with other people and open to create new friends, connections and opportunities. Co-city is a co-living mixed function project. It has 5 different privacy levels coming from public use as restaurant and exhibition hall, to zones where people who are members of the complex can use and finally zones just for residents. Each person would have bedroom from 9m2 to 20m2 with private bathroom and he/she would share kitchen and living room with small community from 5 to 20 people. Complex has 16 such communities/clusters, which are connected between each with outside corridors / “streets“ which carry not only transitional function, but also works as functional communicative spaces, where people can chat, play, dance, do barbecue, etc. Below residential clusters are located 5 common spaces, which are library, grow room, dinning hall, GYM and DIY studio. Complex also include co-working - available publicly for people with membership and accessibly to everyone restaurant, exhibition hall and grocery store. Building is connected by one main circulation core and has 4 main floors from which people can get through “streets“ to other levels (see “circulation“). The unusual shape and placement of the clusters / residential blocks creates a feeling of the city within the city and its centralized multileveled circulation takes people on the journey, while making them meet and interact. Terraces and roofs have vegetation planted on them. That compensates the vegetation lost after construction and adds another layer to the project atmosphere.
