site. N/A

brief. In response to rising house prices, we were tasked to create a collaborative living/working/play community for millennials using shipping containers as the main structural forms. We had to consider the internal spacial restrictions due to the dimensions of the shipping containers which really challenged me to explore space saving solutions.

idea. After exploring into statistics correlative for millennials and anxiety, I found that the demand for therapy and the awareness of anxiety has risen, so following that I wanted to propose an idea that brought these individuals together in a comfortable setting. The design would accommodate to working Millennials who suffer from anxiety, providing them with a space in which they can comfortably live in an intimate community of 12 apartments, meeting and growing together, in both their confidence and life skills. The design aimed to make a place where it was free for them to express themselves without the worry of judgement, with relaxation and therapy areas available. The main attraction being the large net in the middle of the structure for a space in which people can jump or lay on, but also circle platforms sunken down, providing a more solid area for work and relaxation.
