blurring sharing, mending, loneliness

In Australia today, loneliness and social isolation is a widespread issue. Co-hAUS is an Australian take on co-housing that is an initial step towards blurring the spheres of sharing and taking a step towards mending the broken social networks of Millennials whilst maintaining some of the strict Australian housing ideals.

Co-hAUS aims to address the growing need to rekindle meaningful relationships and connections for the lonely generation. This is achieved by providing spaces and places that foster meaningful relationships between individuals within the amenity provided on-site and the interdependency created through the typical apartment arrangement. Four buildings form a confident and distinct unity in this residential co-housing scheme. Within each cluster there is a differentiation between private, communal, and public spaces, providing a variety of options for contemporary living within the shared residential spaces. Each cluster also offers significant external space as optional space that does not have a curated use and is open to resident interpretation. and public spaces, providing a variety of options for contemporary living within the shared residential spaces. Each cluster also offers significant external space as optional space that does not have a curated use and is open to resident interpretation. Co-housing works best on an intimate scale where the residents can build relationships and start to blend the spheres of sharing and attitudes towards ownership. Australia has a very distinct attitude to housing and privacy hence why this scheme offers varied degrees of social interaction and is heavily reliant on the idea of prospect and refuge. This scheme also put significant thought into how it would affect and assist the existing surrounding community to form a central, flexible, transitory, and adaptable ‘hub’ between St Peters and Sydenham station.
