RESTERRENES Forest-terrenes Urban Forest Design Approach

“We will achieve that by a connection to nature and integration of plants. Buildings with ecological materials we want to touch. Integrated gardens we can smell and eat. And buildings we can hear because bees and birds nest in them. Sensible buildings that make us feel alive. That’s my dream of the future.”

As scientists predicted, we are going to have around 8.5 billion people in 2030. Imagine all these people share the same amount of land as today, our surrounding will be more crowded than ever. To meet human’s basic needs and react to the rapidly increasing population, the coliving community will become the choice of many people, in order to solve these issues. What is a co-living community? It is a type of intentional community that is built to provide sharing spaces and facilities for people who are alike in thinking and value individuality and the sense of togetherness at the same time.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

Social Advantages:

Social: with co-living you can meet people outside of your circle of connection with whom you might create or develop a professional network. You might be able to meet people with the same interest as you and expend your social group, share knowledge or help each other such as helping with child care, get cooking or software lesson, having someone that will help you fix something in the house if you don’t know how to do it. Especially with multigeneration co-living, where elder generation might struggle with technology while they might thrive with manual activities or knowledge through years of learning experience. Multigeneration co-living also help to reduce social isolation and loneliness.

Economic Advantages:

By sharing diverse resources, you can also reduce your cost of living by paying only a portion of bill such as water, electricity, gas, internet.

Co-living places are also usually overall cheaper than private renting and fully furnished; therefore you won’t have to spend money in furniture or having to pay to move them from place to place.

Environmental Advantages:

By sharing amenities, furniture, energy, and buildings, we can reduce our use of energy and reduce the environmental impact of urbanisation.

Downside, Conflicts:

While on paper co-living might be attractive, simple, full of WWopportunity and more ecologic. Living with other people and sharing isn’t always easy has everybody has their own way of living.

As such conflict might arise between different members of the collective usually regarding the state of cleanliness of the common space ( if people leave their mess for other to pick up all the time ) or noises and differ-ent notion of “sharing” some people might use your personal items without asking first. Trust problem arise more often when the member is not staying for a long time in the collectivity.

Downside, Privacy:

5

Privacy is something that people cherish and not all co-living company cater for such as Podshare where members share a room with many bunkbeds and no separation whatsoev-er. Other company might also have camera to monitor inside shared spaces which can be intrusive on personal liberties You might also require from time to time moment where you want to be alone which isn’t always possible with co-living system.

In conclusion, co-living is one of the most effective solutions for solving the issue of population.

Co-living has different types in order to serve different purposes. Although it has some drawbacks which are conflict between sharing tenants and privacy issues, its benefits surpass all. The benefits can be listed as saving money which is an economic advantage, building social connections which as a social advantage, improving individual wellbeing and environmental friendly which is an environmental advantage. Co-living is different when comparing it in the past and now through some aspects such as form, people, feature, function and value.

6

Ultimately, everything has its good and bad side, co-living is no exception, the most important thing is that people should prepare themselves and have their own way to live in a co-living environment in order to feel the most comfortable.

Based on the research of co-living about its advantages in social, economic, environment and disavantages in conflicts, privacy, there are some ways that we can apply to the project design in order to increase the benefitical parts and decrease the challenge parts.

DESIGN

Design more communal place for residents

ECONOMIC

Design a management tool to manage the resource expenses. For example, can be managed by using apps instead of manual managements.

ENVIRONMENT

Using sustainable material for building Design garden space to produce organic goods

CONFLICTS

PRIVACY

To decrease conflicts, can design space to increase the collabora�on. For example, space to hold community events, par�es, entertainment, etc.

Increase privacy as much as possible by design private bathroom, kitchen and private-�me rent space

SUMMARY

SOCIAL

PRECEDENT STUDY

Wanqi Xiang|Precedent I|Home for the homeless by XYStudio

7

The shelter in Jankowice is designed for people who are life-deficient and for whom there is no place in the care system. Because they are too healthy to live in asocial welfare home and too “unhealthy” to use dormitory. The building is divided into three main zones separated by brick walls. The building is fully accessible to the disabled.

In the entrance zone, there is a public area: a chapel, offices, rehabilitation rooms, a common room, and a canteen. Abench and roofing are very important elements in communal area to create the space where everyone sites, smokes, observes and talks.

For the second part, there are19 double rooms with shared bathrooms adapted for various degrees of disability. The rooms are tiny because there is only a place to sleep, so that residents are encouraged to leave it during the day –it is an important part of resocialization.

The last section is for those volunteers to care for the disabled. A kitchen is designed in such a way that the residents can help in simple work. There is also a dining room and a common-room. Courtyard – it is the most important place. Thanks to glazing, it gives a sense of more space and easier to control residents for a small number of carers, which is the main function.

Wanqi Xiang|Precedent II|Nature House by Junsekino Architect and Design

8

A bridge is appointed to connect 2 spaces together while each pushed-in plane creates a working space area which maintains privacy from the outside. The boundaries are created by sheets of glass and vegetation. During the day time, the natural light can penetrate and disperses into all interior space from the very thin ceiling and the open space which exists between the ceiling and walls. The ceiling is designed to be very thin like paper and designed to let natural light penetrates through during the day and disperse light to all areas. At night artificial lights from lamps and lanterns are diffused to the exterior. The open space between the ceiling and walls will control lighting inside the room during day and night. Wood, rock and natural finishing products were combined in this building to create the feeling of natural living with the essence of modern architecture.

PRECEDENT STUDY

The nature house establishes the uninterrupted ‘inside and outside’ relationship by using the water body, plants and glass. People could feel the nature of every space of this house, either by visual, sound, or feeling. From above idea, it creates and determines the functions of private and public space. Both spaces are parallel to X-axis and connect to service space in Y-axis.

PRECEDENT STUDY

Mortaza Abuzar|Precedent I|Treehouse by Bo-DAA

The Treehouse project is based in Seoul, South Korea and comprise of a 72-unit co-living complex. The spatial arrangements of Treehouse consist of private and public spaces and fits within the architectural category and will be proposed in the future design of my co-living environment. This project does not support the social mix provided by our group, hence the below precedent will support that scenario, however, it highly supports our selected theme.

The Treehouse is designed for single professionals and their animal companions.

An interior garden centralised inside the Treehouse is lined with collaborative working areas, communal kitchen, relaxing lounge spots, laundry and baths. This interior garden is the core element of nature and connection with nature that invests in the group’s green/nature-based theme. One major key elements of this design is the spatial arrangement and the way the floors and spaces are aligned. The units are not identical to one another and is styled differently- these varies from lofted sleeping quarters over an open soaking tub; a ladder of ledges to provide perches for feline residents; or a spacious penthouse for couples.

9

Another key element of this design is the full-width slanted windows, really wide and large with blinds that rise bottom-up for privacy while providing a piece of the sky.

Another feature of the designed project is the atrium that corresponds well with the garden. The atrium provides the stacked privacy of the residents while on the other hand endeavours the best quality of co-living in the centralised garden.

Mortaza Abuzar|Precedent II|Saettedammen by Stig Brinck

10

The Saettedammen is a co-housing community near Hillerod, north of Copenhagen, Denmark. Here, 71 people live in 28 houses clustered around shared recreational and outdoor spaces – walkways, gardens, and parking - and a common house.

Everyone shares resources like laundry facilities, outdoor tools, and play equipment.

The main reason the Saettedamen is selected for a precedent is the quality of co-living that comprises of a good social mix – singles, couples, retirees, and families with children. Every family has their own privacy in a home with its own bedrooms, baths and kitchen.

The land is owned, but residents own their homes. An average household pays about $3,500 dollars a year for communal resources.

PRECEDENT STUDY

The community is located in a residential area near the golf club just a few kilometres from the station. Approaching the site via a suburban road, the community sits quietly around some smaller lakes. The houses themselves are built using a modular design, some onestorey and some two storey like stacked bricks, allowing the interior walls to be moved around according to living needs. Their location, sitting up on a low ridge overlooking the rolling hills yet guarded by mature trees and plants, makes for a very picturesque scene; this place is naturally beautiful as well as socially innovative.

PRECEDENT STUDY

Thien Kohi Ta|Precedent I|The Urban Village by Space10 and EFFEKT Studio

The subscription-based housing model would provide multi-generational co-living. Shared facilities would include transport, dining, workspaces and daycare. Residents could add on services, such as food or media, through flexible subscriptions. Housing for the project would be built from cross-laminated timber – “a wood that comes with huge environmental advantages and outperforms steel and concrete on multiple levels” – in standardised modular units.

This modular system could be pre-fabricated, mass-produced and flat-packed, to reduce costs and environmental impact, by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emitted during construction. This would also allow building materials to be disassembled and reconfigured with ease. Residents could simply rearrange the accommodation as required, replacing any elements of the module that need repair. This allows for flexible and adaptable living, and moves towards a circular approach to living spaces.

11

“Urban Villages is based on a modular building system which allows us to configure a wide range of different housing typologies for different urban settings,” said EFFEKT partner Sinus Lynge. “The system is designed for disassembly, unlocking a truly circular material loop where building components and materials can be reused and replaced rather than wasted. “ It is clear that unless we rethink our built environment, our cities will become increasingly unsustainable, unaffordable and socially unequal.

Thien Kohi Ta|Precedent II|Co-living apartment by WeWork

12

Studio, one bedroom, two bedroom, three bedroom and four bedroom units are available in WeLive’s properties, and residents can share or have their own depending on how much they want to pay. Kitchens, lounges and bathrooms are shared within their units, while large communal areas are designed for building-wide use. As well as furniture, the units come with bed linen, towels, kitchenware, internet and cable TV – all covered by the amenities fee.

Units are finished simply with a combination of stained and natural wooden surfaces, pegboard storage areas and white tiles. Fridges are kept stocked with beer and San Pellegrino soft drinks.

A range other products ranging from clothes hangers, to books and shampoo are also included as part of the deal. The company is also providing communal events for residents, held in the building’s shared spaces. These include meals, cooking classes, karaoke and game nights, and fitness classes, and residents are encouraged to keep in touch through a WeWork app.

PRECEDENT STUDY

Billed as a “disruptive alternative to the way people live”, the first WeLive project – a cross between student housing and hotels – is located at 110 Wall Street in New York. This concept is another layer of our platform focused on enabling people to live more fulfilling lives. . “Built with a focus on community and functionality, WeLive enables people to focus on what’s most important to them by offering one of the most flexible housing solutions on the market today,” said a statement from WeLive. “Simply show up and begin your life without the hassle.”

PRECEDENT STUDY

Cindy Janny|Precedent I|Parkroyal by WOHA

13

Parkroyal hotel design is a response to customer demand who are increasingly more concern about energy efficiency and environment. Aiming to be more sustainable and focusing on tropical architecture with an organic approach, Parkroyal is a good example where nature connect with urban space reducing the environmental impact of urbanization. Design by the Architecture company WOHA for the Pacific Hotel Group.

The 29811m2 hotel can boast of a giant sky garden of 15000m2 on Pickering Street in Singapore, and multiple award such as ‘world’s leading green city hotel’ and ‘asia’s leading green hotel’.

Some of the sustainable feature that made the Parkroyal famous are the: • 60kwp of solar cells power singapore first zero-energy sky garden • water usage minimizing through rainwater harvesting and use of ‘newater’.

• light motion and rain sensors regulating the uses of precious resources.

• 2m2 of lush greenery for every 1m2 of their total land area.

Other green features, innovations and implementation: • Short building depth maximises the amount of daylight reaching internal spaces • high performance green and blue glass to prevent solar heat transfer • Use of cascading greenery on the west-facing walls to cool and reduces energy consumption • Roof terraces are also used as thermal insulation against heat transfer • The above-ground car park has removed the need for excavation, extensive mechanical ventilation and artificial lighting • Self-sustaining landscape area with auto-irrigation, fertigation and timer-controlled drip nozzles • Separate recycling bins for plastic, glass, paper and glass in all guest rooms, as well as throughout the hotel • Built-in rain sensors in landscape areas to turn off irrigation when a minimum level of rain is detected • Reduces concrete usage using the Cobiaz technology, placing ‘void formers’ made of environmentally friendly recycled plastic • Naturally ventilated corridors reducing the cooling

Cindy Janny|Precedent II|The Old Oak by The Collective

14

Founded by Reza Merchant and Design by the architecture company ‘PLP Architecture’ the Old Oak Co-Living complex, with 11 storey and 15793 m2 located in Willesden Junction, Northwest London. Is the first of this model to be built and is currently the world’s largest co-living building.

Reza Merchant aim to respond to the housing shortage crisis in London, were renting prices are either exorbitant or rental simply inadequate by developing a new affordable way of living based on high-density, communality and shared experience.

In term of design and co-living experiences the old oak complex isn’t perfect but is certainly an interesting project from whom a lot can be learn for instance.

The affordable and flexible concept, the integration of more luxurious facilities such spa, gym, cinema room, working space, which makes the complex more attractive to potential renters.

The respect of private spaces and the opportunity given to connect with other resident throughout the facility.

On the downside the Old Oak has a group target too narrow to really create a community that would last over many years has it isn’t design for families, therefore inevitably move out at some point.

The old oak aim as well to answer the housing crisis meaning the urbanization but isn’t including sustainable design into is feature to reduce is carbon footprint.

PRECEDENT STUDY

Composed of 550 fully furnish micro units, communal facilities including kitchens, spa, gym, restaurant, games room, cinema room, library, launderette, a co-working hub, meeting spaces, two large roof terrace and included amenities such as internet, room cleaning and all-inclusive bill. Renters can live without worrying about moving out furniture, cleaning or household bill as everything is taken in charge. Renting period are also flexible with a price adapted in consideration. The longer you stay the cheaper the rent.

INDIVIDUAL CONCEPTUAL DESIGN

The conceptual drawings are based on the function that was associated in the Treehouse, Seoul.

The Treehouse is integrated with an interior garden as well as other plants and greeneries on the exterior facades of the building. This precedent was chosen and picked as it conveys the chosen theme - the urban forest. Through a series of bubble diagrams, the function of the space was obtained, therefore followed by more testings and findings and resolved in the 3 dimensional drawing on the right hand side.

SET OF UNITS FOR SINGLE/COUPLES ELDER AND DISABILITIES (20 UNITS)

The Resterrenses project is design for tenants that share the same interest for nature and natural products within an urban environment.

The site is comprised of three main living area, separating the different category of resident (couple and single with children, elder and disable with couple without children, single with late teenager) and a water feature heart with multiple shared facilities creating the 4 area.

Lush vegetation is used to separate each area offering a sense of privacy and reducing the noise level.

The general design play with curves, wave movement and extract some of its roof form from a leaf while creating multiple green spaces with different ambiances.
