The focus of this project was in home economics, and alternate forms of housing and or homesteading. The intention behind the building was to create a space that could house a multitude lifestyles into a single large community home. In the images depicted, short term residents are shown in blue and long term residents are shown in red. Usually these two populations are typically considered to require different types of living spaces because of the dichotomy in there homeowner status. But by introducing a housing condition that allows the sharing of some amenities (where tube intersect) and privacy of others (sleeping and dressing), the building can in concept create the the common space for the diverse residents and and de-stigmatize alternative living habits.

The resident are then connected to the larger community of Chinatown by a single continuous tube from the ground floor to the top of the building. This space is then opened for any party to host events or classes that can further engage the residents with their community.
