‘Quiet Quitting’ is a term that came into existence during covid. It means rejecting the notion of work taking over life or how employees work over and beyond their job description. Thus, people started following their passion and shifting to flexible work timings. ‘Unboxing Towers’ is an attempt at housing that caters to young millennials (who are either bachelors or small families) with flexible work timings. The housing explores units with flexible spaces that can be used differently during different times of the day while at the same time having room for future expansion.
