What is co-living ďź&#x; Co-living is an intentional community that provides shared housing for people with a common will. This may only be brought together for activities such as dining and discussion in a common living area, but it may be extended to shared work spaces and collective efforts, such as a more sustainable life.

As a modern concept, co-leasing can be traced back to nearly a century in the form of property units, but may also be considered to be related to an older community lifestyle such as a longhouse. In recent years, its contemporary form has only received attention because of a combination of factors that have led to interest in this type of living space, including lack of housing opportunities, the increase in the cost of independent housing and purchase financing, and the growing lifestyle Of interest does not depend on long-term contracts.

What is the role of architecture / design when co-living?

You want it when you are in the community, and you need it when you are in privacy. Even the most outgoing people sometimes need a little time, and with the space to live together, you can of course have both. Therefore, even if living together can promote community awareness, a sense of collaboration with others and a sense of collaboration with others, you can still enjoy some much-needed quiet. Combining design aesthetics, quality and privacy in an environment where public resources are shared and demand.

Architecture not only plays a vital role in promoting gatherings among residents, but also plays an important role in the activation and behavior undertaken by residents. Practice has proved that well-designed, inspiring and quality spaces can encourage people to take better actions, thereby making residents more considerate and committed to improving the surrounding environment and the well-being of the people they share with.

What do we need to consider when designing co-living?

Existing architecture, artifacts and services cannot meet the needs and goals of collective users. Therefore, to experience all the ecological, social, and economic benefits of living together, research must be conducted to understand how residents share, experience, and live space.

Fujian Tulou is the most representative and wellpreserved example of Tulou in the mountainous areas of southeastern China.

The large technically sophisticated and striking soil defense buildings built between the 13th and 20th centuries are an extraordinary reflection of the community's long-term response to settlement in the highly sensitive environment of the fertile valley.

Tulou and its large number of related documents and archives reflect the emergence, innovation and development of outstanding civil architectural art in the past seven centuries.

Reasonably arranged interior spaces and beautifully decorated surfaces not only meet the physical and spiritual needs of the community, but also reflect the development of complex societies in remote and potentially hostile environments in extraordinary ways.

Tulou usually consists of four floors. The second and third floors are private spaces. People have their own independent warehouses and their own storage rooms. Without the permission of the occupants, the rooms cannot move around each other. People can only go to other places through the inner corridor or go up and down the stairs.

Tulou has a good centripetality. Most people move around on the outer layer of the circle.

Separate rooms also provide good privacy.

When you want a private space, just close the door of the room. Each unit building shares the living room, they are semi-private, so that not only can protect a small part of privacy, but also share a part of the space. The central part of the earth building is completely public. When people need to gather, they move towards the center of the circle, and they share the kitchen and laundry room there.

The special thing is that the Tulou takes each individual bedroom as a unit, and about three bedrooms on each floor can form a group. A total of six bedrooms on the second and third floors share a living room on the first floor and an ancestral hall on the fourth floor. Together they form a unit.

The entire Tulou is composed of these unit buildings, but the size of the Tulou and the number of unit buildings are often different. They are determined by the number of families living here.

Three single rooms constitute one level of the a unit.

Different floors make up one unit.

Units consitute one building.

Co-living is not like the Tulou which is family living. There is no need for everyone to go to the shrine.

Therefore, a single unit is used as a communal area and is separated from ordinary household areas, so as to avoid disturbing residents who did not participate in the activities when carrying out small activities. Each unit has a own semi-private.

The circular ground floor building serves as a public area connecting all the units. It is used as a large kitchen, dining room and can hold other events that require large gatherings.
