23 & 24 Westcliff Court, Marino SA (3100 m2 + 2071 m2 ) The site chosen for this project is located at 23 & 24 Westcliff Court, Marino. A steep-sloping, sea-facing, picturesque site located in the southern suburb of Marino (between Seacliff and Hallett Cove). Located 19 km, 30-min drive, south of Adelaide (via Anzac Hwy and Brighton Rd), Marino is a highly desirable sea-side suburb with rising popularity. Among its many attractions are closeness to the city, affordable housing on large blocks with breathtaking views of the coast and the city, very little through traffic making streets quiet and safe for children, Marino-to-Hallett Cove boardwalk, and unique rocky coastline. The chosen blocks of land (private properties currently for sale) are zoned for residential developments and suitable for the co-living community project proposed.

Group Research

A trend? A goal? or else Ongoing trend of student renting Demographics and the growing middle class are driving the demand for higher education, and consequently, the demand for student housing. More and more people are seeking education opportunities for their children, and more and more children are willing to move over cities, or even over states or overseas for higher level education opportunities. In such consequence, student housing demand has been continuously rising. In addition, the cultural ideas in the western countries have also further pushing students to live independently after becoming grown adults.

Covid 19 Impacts Studying abroad became popular The OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and development) showed that there will be more than 8 million internationally mobile student by 2025, up from 5 million from 2019. The rising middle-class is fueling demand for services and goods in all industries, including education. Globally, there is an upward trend in the number of international student enrollment. Top international student distribution countries are the USA, the UK and Australia. By the count of 341k in Australia ranked in third, of the most popular countries for studying abroad. Mainly seeking for experience, quality of education and the opportunity for learning a new language.

The ongoing global pandemic started at the end of 2019, had a great impact on oversea travelling, as countries are closing their boarders to prevent the spread. The department of South Australia announced to close their boarder on February, and until 2021, is still strictly countering the covid-19 spread.

For the first time, the number of visas issued to students from China applying offshore to study in Australia has fallen. Figures just released by the Department of Home Affairs show a fall of 5.2% – from 47,794 to 45,309 – in 2018-19 to 30 June, compared to the year before.

However, students who stayed in Australia during the pandemic, were restricted by the governments to quarantine, in order to control the spread of the virus. In those circumstances, everyone was to stay home except for necessary enquires, such as grocery shopping etc.… As a result, on-shore students who was not accompanied started to develop mental health problems.

A 2 by 3 bedroom, spent most of their time staying, not knowing where else they could have been, the depression, the anxiety, slowly taking them over. This has become a major concern, to the community, to the university, and to the new generation of architects like ourselves

Urban Loneliness “it appears that a student has just jumped or been thrown from the new student accommodation building and landed upon the roof of a bus shelter.” Adelaide, South Australia, 2 years ago. It was shocking to the entire community of the south Australia universities. Moving oversea all alone, no family, no friends, in a whole new environment, whole new cultures. Many students found it hard to blend in when they first arrived, and with many who has shy characteristics, it may just become more struggling.

Existing Accomodations As have personally seen, the student accommodation was designed in the layout of jail shells, tiny rooms, narrow corridors, and poorly built shared bathrooms.

Was also an overpriced one, located in the Adelaide CBD. However, that are many better accommodations around with studio rooms or larger size rooms provided.

Though, the issue of lacking opportunity of socializing is still there and is on wait to be resolved.

Solution for unattended overseas travelers

Site analysis/ where is it located?

• • • • • •

Fairly far away from the city, located at Westcliff court, Marino SA, has train access around 1km away. Super market access around 15 mins by bus from the location. Great ocean view from the site, mood soothing scene, great for mental treatment.

Mental Health Financial Problems Socialization Co-working/ Assistance Serviced & Safety Community & Culture

With communal space and amenities all shared in what are sometimes vast complexes, co-living is billed as a solution to the housing crisis.

When the shared living concept is helping people prevent mental, and renting problems, it also makes more financial sense to high school graduates who finds the society challenging, and still trying out, experiencing the new world they are about to enter. For people who finds it hard to socialize can take it slowly while living in a shared space with many other people with different cultural background. Providing opportunities of co-working as the same time, relief on the stress over working in their second language. Most importantly, making everyone in the community feel a sense of belonging and safety.

How could the project go down, why it would work?

Investors should understand once it is been built, the advertisement market, the newspaper market and the long-term contractor’s market is broad.

Redesigning a communal space, recreating the concept of co-living will attract people’s attention. Operation cost and monthly lease and many more in consideration, it should be an innovative project. How would it work, with all the urban problems in mind, and the improving standards of people’s living quality and wealth, more people choose to live away from the city meditate the way out of their stress over working. The foundation of co-living is community, as one joins, many more follows, the link between people is far beyond our prediction.

What could mess up?

Australia is a multi-cultural country, with people from all over the world, all from different cultural backgrounds and different thoughts towards quality living. As an example, the most common issue, communication.

Meaning of privacy may vary between cultures.

Building an environment that meet needs of all sort.

Bedrooms of different levels of privacy, large rooms of 10 people, medium rooms of 4-5 people family, small rooms of 2-3 besties, or lastly single studio room. Kitchens for public uses or semi-public uses. Attempting different layouts to meet the needs of all sort at our best. Assigning spaces equally, distributing benefits to everyone evenly. Fair, gender equalized, freedom and cultural characteristics respectful, making sure there will be no bias within the community through architecture designing.

It could be overwhelming how one culture is so different to the other, people have different opinions on shared spaces, and obviously, could easily start conflictions within the community. As architects, these problems will be put in the first place when designing co-living spaces like such.

What factors make housemate more comfortable and more harmonious?

Most people think that honesty, cleanliness, communication, and friendliness are important factors for everyone to live together.

The combination of these factors will make people from all over the world feel safe and comfortable.

Survey Report 1. Friendly Helping each other will make the relationship between people more friendly.

Help others within your own abilities. At the same time, you can make friends.

Make co-living people more united.

2. Cleanliness The cleanliness of the house is also an important factor for the quality of life.

Cleanliness will give people a sense of visual comfort. At the same time, keeping it clean will also be polite to those around you.

3. Communicative Communication between neighbors is also part of living together. Communication will make people understand each other, and they may have common hobbies, or common topics, and so on.

4. Honesty The most important thing in living under the same roof is to be honest. You can’t deceive the other party and steal other people’s property. It takes mutual trust to become a big family.

Space

Energy

There are 67% people prefer to set private spaces and communal spaces with clear boundaries of use, But there are another 33% people prefer to set a modular walls that grow or contarct space on needs. From the data, it can be seen that most people prefer to seperate private and public areas, which makes them feel comfortable. however, through life becoming more diversified, modular walls are also accepted by everyone.

The house will definitely not depart from the use of energy, and occasionally there will be conflicts from roommates when paying some fees. 52% of people like to pay all their energy bills, but 22% like to set an amount together and let it go. At the same time, some people like to let the management staff specify an amount and include them in the rent. These people account for 14%. Another 12% like to share this energy amount equally.

Tolerance

Development

According to the survey data, 11% of you like to share their self-sustainable garden and the Internet with others, while 9% like to share their utilities, the same room, and work area. At the same time, 8% of people are willing to share their household daily necessities, kitchen, and cleaning responsibilities. Another 6% people like to share child care and daily dinner. Only 4% are willing to share groceries with others. However, only 3% of people willing to share a bathroom and bathing area. In the end, no one wants to share their room with other people. It can be seen that people prefer private areas a bit more. At the same time, no one is unwilling to share anything with others.

Most people think that design is the best co-living community. The second is architecture. These two are things that people can see at first glance. Designers should give more consideration to co-living social activities to promote people’s relationships. At the same time, technology also needs to be considered for everyone.

Community Profile

The people considering coming to live in this area are composed of people of different ages and different cultural backgrounds.

The first thing we consider is accessibility and safety. To design a building on a sloping ground, we need to connect different spaces flexibly so that people can walk freely in the site.

Study The student dormitory better provides the facilities that students enjoy at the school, such as the computer room, study room and printing room. These facilities are set up in the student accommodation area, which is the best embodiment of the school’s welfare for students.

A community is a place where people from different cultural backgrounds want to live together. They may share the place, use the same facilities to make their life better. To achieve this, we put enough private space for them, let them feel comfortable with enough space in their own life.

At the same time, we try to maximize the public space for them to enjoy living with others. The establishment of a student dormitory into a community is mainly divided into two parts for consideration, which is Study and Living.

Public space is accessible by everyone at any time, it works the same for entertainment. Whereas, Semi-private areas are non-accessible for some safety and legal reasons. Private space is strictly used & operated by owners only. Keep the privacy of the private space, but also ensure that students can easily move in the entire space. Keep the private space in the middle and distribute the other parts around.

The main space is divided into four parts: private, semi-private, public and entertainment.

Private Space Enough private space takes care of the privacy requirements and personal space of students of different ages. For example, families with children need family space while single students enjoy more shared life. At the same time, to prevent possible conflicts between different groups of people, families with children may make more noise.

Semi-Private Space Connected with private space, students of different ages will have space to share with others through different needs and interests. The kitchen, bathroom, toilet and small study space ensure the basic needs of multiple people living together. At the same time, strengthen the communication of students living together and promote them to help each other in life. For example, when a single parent with a baby lives together, the care of the child may not only come from their own parents but may make them feel more at home.

Public Space A public space refers to an area or place that is open and accessible to all peoples, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, age or socio-economic level. These are public gathering spaces such as plazas, squares and parks. Connecting spaces, such as sidewalks and streets, are also public spaces. Complete public facilities are conducive to the common life of students. Computer rooms are also set up to cater to the learning needs of students.

Entertainment For students, relaxation is an essential place to relax. Different types of entertainment facilities attract students of different ages. People with the same interests can make friends or engage in group activities to strengthen the connection between people.

Capsule Hotels, Japan Capsule hotels are one of Japan’s best known and unique types of lodging.

They are usually found around major train stations in large cities and target individuals looking a low budget. The concept of co-living really shows in these well-organized pods, built one by another, having over hundreds of people living in one room. However, these builds are certainly not suitable or just not comfortable enough for long-term guests while spending years or months on. In order to develop the true ‘co-living’ concept into it, more socio-spatial areas may need to be considered in building.

However, in terms of a staying place for individuals, capsule hotels had done a great job providing essential facilities.

Share House LT Josai, Japan Naruse Inokuma Architects has brough a super visually stunning house, they showed the concept of co-living by utilizing the beauty of layers really well. Openings of each floor, bring the people in together. Doing their own things, mind their own business while in an opening room seeing other’s faces is also a form of socializing. However, with this opening design, it is going to bring them together at the end anyways. The hollow stair cases in the shared zone, exposing every corner to your eyes while it still keeps you a small sense of privacy. In my opinion, they have done a great job building a socio-space with a great vibe, great color of choice as well, making this a really cozy shared environment.

Woven City, Japan Situated at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan, Woven City is described by Toyota as a “living laboratory” – where fulltime resident researchers will have a real world space to experiment with new technology in autonomy, robotics, personal mobility and smart homes. Also an example in sustainability: the city will be entirely powered by hydrogen fuel cells.

A smart city at its core: the entire urban ecosystem – residents, buildings, vehicles, etc – will be integrated, or ‘woven,’ into a single digitalised system, interacting with each other through sensors and data transmission. Many of the facilities are aimed at safe and assisted living for the elderly – the central demographic in Japan’s ageing population.

This site mainly reflects the connection between the building and the local environment. People can feel the importance of the surrounding environment in their lives. At the same time, because this project is based on the original builder’s transformation into a co-living residence, the designer Alexis Dornier added a bridge between the two buildings to strengthen the connection between people. In addition, the bridge facilitates people’s movement in areas with different functions, reduces the negative impact of the original building on people’s social activities, leaves a lot of space for people to use freely, and strengthens the functionality of the space.

Our location is at the seaside, maximizing the use of the surrounding environment and presenting the best sea view in front of people. At the same time, students of different ages will live here, considering their learning needs and adding functional facilities needed in life to ensure that students can live together safely and comfortably. Appropriate reserved space may be the right choice for the positive film area.

This building mainly shows the internal layout of the building. There is a huge flow of people and noise generated by people on the first floor. Public facilities with low requirements for sound insulation can be installed here to strengthen the communication of all kinds of people in this area. Separate a quiet office area from a noisy area. We can set up a more sound-proof wall again and set up small compartments in it to meet the needs of different types of students. The large public space provides more opportunities for people to do activities at the same time and at the same time allows people to enjoy the fun of group activities.

People with the same interests can find friends in different facilities, like gym to strengthen the connection between them. Like-minded people can find friends in different facilities, such as a gym, to strengthen the bond between them. At the same time, put spaces with similar functions together to prevent mutual influence between the space and the crowd, as a metaphor for noise.

Tietgen Student Halls, Denmark Tietgen Student Halls is a dormitory that can accommodate 400 students. The building is built in a simple circular form for the city’s response to the environment. The circular form of the building-a symbol of equality and common and representing personal residence Personal projection volume is in contrast. The cylinder completes itself and is oriented around the inner courtyard. The highrise buildings have residences along the circumference to enjoy the surrounding environment, while the public functions face the inner courtyard. The public area appears as a dramatic and prominent form that points inward to the courtyard. The dwellings have different depths in the intermittent changes, so that the outer contour has its characteristic crystalline appearance. In this way, the unique identity of each residential house is revealed, and the potential urban memorial significance of the cylindrical form is eliminated.

Casa dell’accademia, Switzerland

Casa dell’Accademia is a student apartment that can accommodate 72 people. The building consists of two rectangular reinforced concrete buildings parallel to each other and separated by a garden. There are 18 apartments distributed on three floors, and there are three apartments dedicated to the disabled, covering an area of about 90 square meters, including four One single bedroom, two bathrooms, living room and kitchen. The lower floor is the laundry room, cellar and bicycle parking space. The elevator leads to the apartment, which is convenient for the disabled. I was inspired by one of the designers of Casa dell’Accademia. The face-to-face design of the two buildings allows residents to come to each other at any time. At the same time, the public area downstairs is also between the two buildings to increase the feelings between residents. The design of Casa dell’Accademia allows residents to contact each other very conveniently.

Library Bibliotheque Hongkong Bibliotheque advocates the concept of co-living. It creates not only a living space, but also introduces a brand-new style of living – sharing of common space and facilities to enrich residents’ life. Besides, Bibliotheque hosts various kinds of activities to provide a platform for residents to meet with like-minded people, and to facilitate communication. Bibliotheque mainly comprises three 5-storey buildings, providing a total of 166 spaces. Common area and rooftop garden are available for organizing activities . Building structure and partition fulfill relevant regulations and code of practices required by the Government to protect the safety of residents. The residential facilities on this floor are complete, and the residential and public areas are reasonably arranged to connect the two with each other. Students come to this public area for a common goal-learning, to better form a community. There are not only single beds, but also single double rooms, providing private space.

Tree House, London Architecture studio Bo-Daa has designed Treehouse, a co-living complex in Seoul that is a stack of micro-apartments surrounding a planted atrium in a triangular concrete block.The project, which has been longlisted for a 2019 Dezeen Award, includes 76 small studios and lofts, which all have access to the shared common areas and internal garden they face on to.

While establishing different layouts for each floor, the tree house has set the main rooms into three sizes, which is 16,23 and 33 squaremeters.To create a large, shared space for Treehouse, Bo-Daa split the triangular prism of the volume in two, cutting through its centre with a glazed atrium planted with large trees at the bottom. That create a great space for Co-Living.The floors become gradually slimmer as the building gets higher, in order to comply with the area’s zoning rules. Most of the units give on to the northern aspect.The buildings on both sides form a face-to-face design inside allow neighbors to communicate better when entering and leaving the room.

The Urban rigger has containers placed around a triangle and stacked one on another. The gaps allow the weather to cycle around the building, refreshening the air, meanwhile creating a clear ling of sight throughout the building. As a co-living sopt, the circulation towards every bedroom is through the main parth in the center, this brings the community closer by reducing the social distance. With all the rooms designed face-to-face towarding the center, people can socialise even when seperated in different rooms, and still keeping optional privacy in the residental. the chris-crossed layout of each floor allows visual interactions between levels, while the inner balconies will have been angled, instead of being directly above each other. However, common areas like kitchen, lounge room are lacking from this design.

This concept focuses on visual socialising and semi-private living area for people who suffers from urban loneliness. As a student accomondation, every hard-working student are accompanied by just as hard-working fellas around. While they are stressing on their deadlines, they will not be stressed alone, and every other fella working in this area are inspiring each other to have their work perfected. Students carrying a family, students looking after their aged parents, will no longer need to concern for the safty of their loved ones while stressing on assignments. Kids no longer need to meet their parents on facetimes.

By placing it in the middle, people have equal distance of access to every other facilities. Plus bring the community together by neuturalizing their circulation around the building. Designing an open altrium right above the uni, opening it up to the mother nature, giving people experience of the weather while living internally.

Co-Living is a modern form of shared housing with smaller private spaces in exchage for lower rents, more convenience, larger shared spaces, and a sense of community. The residents not only share spaces and resources but also interests, values, and intentions, and especially with willingness to live with others. The level of sharing may vary from coming together for activities, such as meals and discussionin the common living areas, to sharing workspace, and to collectively aspiring for a sustainable future. This project is expected to build a space for students to live together. It can accommodate sixty people, including ten children. Consider the needs of students of all ages and cater to the interests of different students.

DESIGN BRIEF This project is expected to build a space for students to live together. It can accommodate sixty people, including ten children. Consider the needs of students of all ages and cater to the interests of different students. At the same time, fully consider children’s impact and reduce previous adverse effects with other families.

Maximize the use of the stepped design brought about by the slope so that people can go from roof to roof and from room to roof in this area. Realize a variety of different movement lines, which will significantly connect the entire space and facilitate people’s various activities.

Outdoor space (60%) is set up for specific sports, such as basketball and tennis. The park ensures that students can enjoy a relaxing time after studying. Ensure a large area of greening in the site selection, improve the problem of geological looseness, and at the same time reduce the impact of noise. For the indoor space (40%), the functionality of different facilities will be guaranteed. Through the characteristic layout of the facilities, the gym and dance studio are set up in a unified area to create an atmosphere of active sports and the computer room, office, learning area and library are placed together to ensure the quality of students’ learning and reduce the impact of noise.

The basic model ensures that the living area is located in the middle and the functional area is located on the periphery.

The addition of floors has the effect of dividing various functions, and dividing rooms of different specifications for the residential area.

The spatial layout is close to the shape of the stairs to adapt to the terrain.

Adjust the layout to better suit the site selection while ensuring that the residential area is still in the middle.

SIGLE&FAMILY This building includes small rooms and medium-sized rooms. The top floor is a public activity area and a semi-open dining area. The upper layer faces the ocean and will be eroded by the sea breeze. Therefore, the material of the outer wall is glass, and then the green is intense to shield it. While protecting the wall, it can ensure the indoor shadow in summer and sufficient sunlight in winter.

FAMILY&RECEPTION This building has large rooms and co-living spaces. The first floor is a low-noise public space, including toilets, reception, mail desk, and a library including study space. The top of the building is a green roof, which provides people with free movement space. It is connected to the building on the north side.

PUBLICE As a connecting channel and working space. The interior is a floating duplex structure, and the higher level is a computer that people can use freely. Longer passages prevent noise from coming out of the entertainment area.

PLANTS Lady Di: A dense and vigorous ornamental native climber which quickly screens unsightly walls. Too vigorous for fences but useful for hiding bare walls in industrial areas.

Plectranthus argentatus: Plants prefer a well-drained soil in partial shade but will grow in full sun and are quite drought tolerant.

The facilities in the house also need to be considered. Reception is indispensable in a large community. We need their leadership to enter the community. Secondly, the harmony of the community is very important, and the residents need to communicate with each other. Secondly, electronic equipment is also essential. At the same time privacy and security are also very important.

The main purpose of this project is to allow more people to live together under the same roof, so it is necessary to consider how to make people from all over the world feel comfortable together. It is not only necessary to consider people age differences, cultural differences and personality differences. Therefore, public areas, private areas, and semi-private areas need to be built in this project.

The type of house also needs to be considered. There are four types of houses, which are single rooms for one to two people, small bedrooms for two to three people, medium bedrooms for four to five people, and the largest room. 8 to 10 people. Single room houses are usually reserved for one person or couples or couples. Two to three people are suitable for choosing between friends. A house with four to five people is more like a dormitory, but a house with 8-10 people is more lively. which are single rooms for one to two people, small bedrooms for two to three people, medium bedrooms for four to five people, and the largest room. 8 to 10 people.

This project is divided into four layers. The first layer is the parking lot and the ground floor. The groundfloor is more of a recreation area. The second layer is the first floor and outdoor garden.

The third layer is the second floor and the pedestrian passage. To the swimming pool and outdoor public area, the outdoor public area is for dinner and children’s play area. The fourth layer is a recreation area where people can relax better.

To build a student accommodation, it is important that our design focused on communication. Different age students who want to live in a CoLiving accommodation is prefer to get more communitcation with others.

According to the Group discuss, 3200 Square meter of 5000 square meter will be use into common space setting. In order to build a more coliving building, the main consideration is how people living here use the space so that people have more connections with each other. Set the most important public areas in the center, such as public kitchens and restaurants, and then spread the rest areas and entertainment areas throughout the area, which can maximize the scope of people's activities and communicate better with people through each area. Considering that the building on a sloping hillside requires a supporting structure, setting up a main platform to divide the building into three areas, so that people can walk freely in the three areas, is a good way to use slopes.

Living Area Entertament

Wind Direction

Existing Building

Section A The noise of the train tracks.

Section B The whole area is exposed to the sun all year round, but the overall temperature is not high. The wind direction is the largest from northwest to southwest, so I put the main building on both ends of the site, with a lower and gentle design in the middle, not just to make the wind better. Through the passage, it also provides a good view for nearby residents.

Accessability Common Area

Residential areas are considered first. The circular area is easier to fit the terrain and easy to conbine different areas together.

Put the common area in the middle, provide maximum usage, achieve the purpose of Co-Living.

Separate the living area into two different area, set different type of the rooms on both sides. People are more purposeful when they access to the site.

Change the shape of both main building, that create larger space between them. Provide more accessability and more option about the arrangement of facility.

Adding more level on the site, and create a platform that people can walk through. A stair link both level, people can get lower ground easily. The platform is not only tfor walk but also a corridor link two building.

Other entertament facility are set on the slop on both side of the site.

People can get easily by both stair or just walk out This is the section of the main from back door building, to build on a slop, it is from the building. important to build it safe. Put the lower two level into the terrance is the best way to solve it. To consider the surrounding building, I just put 2 level above the ground, leave more viewing to the exsiting building.
