Exposing relationships through spatial inhabitation
THE CARPENTER AND THE Sewer
The capsules will initially start with a simple timber deck and then have cores, upper decks and roof decks added. They will have timber insulated panels attached via modular metal connectors, which will be interchangeable, adaptable and semitemporary.

The structure will be simple to make, attach and expand to ensure they are workable and robust enough for use and construction by the residents and makers, who don’t necessarily have the most advanced construction skills. Spaces between parent blocks and child forms become community spaces, access spaces or making spaces. Some may just have small interventions, such as lighting, though some will be inhabited more and underused spaces used; such as the under-crofts providing storage. The individual residents will have their skill-sets and relationships exposed through their panel and material choice and inhabitation of capsules and public spaces, i.e The maker and resident of the right hand side capsule in the perspective is a carpenter, his timber work can be seen in his cladding and inhabitation of his capsule, he moved from his parents home (lower exposed apartment), which shares a material link, his expression is allowed to spill into the public space as well. The sewer inhabits the left-hand side capsule, there parents live in the upper apartment and they use sewing to produce cladding, they are also obsessed with plants- evident in there inhabitation.
