INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION:

▪ Co-living is a type of intentional community providing shared living space for people
with shared intentions.
▪ It is a modern form of housing where residents share living space with a similar a set
of interests, values, and/or intentions.
▪ It’s a new take on an old idea, that values things like openness and collaboration,
social networking, and the sharing economy.

AIM:

▪ Uplift the standard of living for students in higher education and the employees who
are growing at a rapid pace across metropolitan cities.
▪ Provide an environment which deals with the work/academic pressure that the young
workers and students are facing.
▪ To encourage community interaction and social engagement among residents.

OBJECTIVES:

▪ A fully complied, purpose built living environment for young students and workers.
▪ Providing open spaces, calm environment which is free from the external hazards.
▪ Provide shared spaces along with individual rooms which accommodates a group of
people or a community.

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT:

▪ The project focuses on creating sustainable community and a sense of belonging to

any individual who come in lost not knowing anyone and where to stay in large

2
 metropolitan cities. This project addresses increasing housing demands and provides
social lifestyle for young, single students and workers at an affordable rent.

1) Designing a sustainable and communal liveable space.

2) Providing hospitality services and an ecosystem that will support the residents in
their academic and professional pursuits.

3) A purpose-built co-living space for their needs, all utilities, weekly cleanings, basic
household supplies, and organized community events

THRUST AREA:

▪ The project focuses on the Behavioral and Psychological aspects of the users.
▪ Behavioral design is a sub-category of design, which is concerned with how design can
shape, or be used to influence human behavior
▪ Behavioral architecture is an architecture that is able to handle human needs and
feelings that adjust to the lifestyle of humans in it. the word "behavior" expresses an
awareness of the social structure of the people, a dynamic movement together in
time.

NEED FOR THE PROJECT:

WHY COLIVING SPACE?

▪ Young people are flocking to cities for opportunities and the housing stock is just isn’t
growing as fast as their migration.
▪ And, even though new technology has enabled people to become more connected
virtually, social isolation and chronic loneliness have been on rise as a global epidemic.
▪ Thus, developing a shared living space encourages community interaction and a sense
of belonging.

UNDERSTANDING THE PROJECT:

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CO-LIVING AND CO-HOUSING:

• One of the main differences between these two is that Coliving involves much more
sharing of spaces.

• While Cohousing communities tend to have individual, free-standing units each with
private bathrooms and kitchens, Coliving spaces tend to share more of these areas

• In addition to sharing significant indoor living spaces, both coliving and cohousing
places a strong focus on integrating shared features such as specialized work spaces,
gymnasiums/health clubs, and game areas

TYPES OF COLIVING SPACES:

1. COHOUSING COMMUNITY:

▪ Intentional communities are created and run by their residents, with a characteristic of having
private homes cluster around shared space.

▪ Each private unit has their own facilities and rooms to create a private life for each resident,
but they also have shared and common facilities.

▪ This type means also being involved in the development, financial and construction part of the
building since each house is owned by each resident.

4
 ▪ This was the first form of coliving, which emerged in Denmark in 1972.

2. COLIVING APARTMENTS:

▪ Coliving apartments offers a living space with the highest level of comfort and flexibility.

▪ They offer apartments of different typologies for long and short term staying, that is Ensuite
room or studio apartments.

▪ It also includes a big common area: from a shared living area or a dining area, until a cinema,
gym and a supermarket.

3. SUPPORTED LIVING SPACES:

• This is a type of housing where an individual needs special/extra care .

• The user chooses the house, if sharing or not. If yes, it would be one or a group of people and
also, what type of support the person needs.

4. SERVICE APARTMENTS:

▪ They are furnished apartment for a short-term or long-term staying, with housekeeping and
other services for guests.

▪ They offer a space more like a house, with a bigger kitchen and other facilities included, like
gym, restaurant and laundry room.

CLEARING THE CONFUSION:

5
TYPES OF ROOMS IN COLIVING SPACE:

1. STUDIO:

▪ A studio is a small apartment which combines several rooms, often the living room, bedroom,
and kitchen.

▪ This means that you will have your own private space that includes your sleeping area and
kitchen.

▪ You will also have your very own bathroom and living space.

▪ These types of rooms are perfect for those who value privacy and want to be independent.

▪ However, if you want to share the place with someone, some studios are big enough to cater
to two people.

6
2. EN-SUITE:

▪ In this type of room, you get to enjoy your own sleeping space and private bathroom.
However, you do not get your own kitchenette or cooking facilities.

▪ En-suite has a common kitchen that is shared among residents.

▪ Private Non-Ensuite – Over here, you get your own private room with a shared bathroom.

▪ Slightly different than en-suite. You do get a bed and lockable space but will have to share the
bathroom with one or more residents of your house.

3. PRIVATE ROOM:

▪ This is a private space within a shared property.

▪ Typically, a private room features a bed, a study desk and storage place.

▪ Your bedroom will be private and lockable.

▪ Depending upon the property, you may have your own bathroom or share it with housemates.

▪ Living space and cooking facilities will be shared with other students.

▪ This is the difference between a private room and en-suite room

4. APARTMENT:

▪ This is your standard apartment.

▪ The whole area is yours.

▪ You get several individual rooms, including the bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas and
kitchen.

▪ This is the perfect option for students who value their privacy.

▪ You can choose to live alone or share a two-bedroom apartment with a roommate.

▪ Students who are included on your lease will have access to your facilities, and you will need
to apply as a group.

CIRCULATION AND SURVEILLANCE:
▪ Residents can monitor scheduled activities online but would have to go to
individual spaces to observe if people were interacting or something unscheduled
was taking place.
▪ Residents living on the side of the roof deck would be able to observe if any
activity was taking place there from their unit windows.

OTHER FEATURES:
▪ Old Oak has a team of community and event managers, who are responsible for
arranging at least 3 activities per week, geared to different tastes.
▪ These are separated from the suites so that you don’t by-pass suites to get to the
amenity spaces.
▪ The secondary or buffer zones consist of shared kitchens/lounges on each micro-
unit, which are narrow and do not provide much in the way of opportunity for
interaction.
▪ The amenities varied in style and energy level, which allows a resident to select
space based on their needs.

Indonesia

ABOUT THE PROJECT:

▪ Roam is a 1750 sq. m co-living and co-working space in Bali, Indonesia.
▪ The vision for this place was to create community.
▪ A model of a micro society where people find their own space for privacy as well

 ▪ Also, the central pool, the community kitchen and downstairs garden bar offer
active areas for guests and visitors

DESIGN CONCEPT:

▪ Balinese life around built structure is that of community through density.

▪ Taking the model of a traditional Balinese compound to another level, the feeling of
family as an organism of exchange and life was always a key driver in the design for
Roam.

▪ 'All under one roof' was another key design driver.

▪ The architecture gives opportunity to add exciting new components such as meeting
rooms, offices and lecture rooms, canopies, bridges and more garden space.

MATERIALS USED:

▪ Different opacities through a range of materials such as bamboo, tin and poly
carbonate turn the place into a light, yet protected outpost high up, overlooking
its surrounding.

▪ High grown bamboo, palms and other plants make the place into a orchestrated
yet friendly and homely place.

▪ Plant life is a key image in the perception of why we love Bali so much. that is why
it became the most important material to implement into the design.

▪ Other materials were chosen through best fitness for use.

▪ This touches the topic of sustainability.

between student housing and hotels. Occupants rent serviced rooms, which are
accompanied by communal living areas and resources.

• A model of a micro society where people find their own space for privacy, as well as
places of gathering, exchange, movement and education

• The U-shaped complex is made up of three former apartment buildings.

• Plants play an important role in the design too, with tall bamboo and palms featuring
throughout.

• Vines hang over the balconies, while trees surround the swimming pool.

• The rooftop amenities are accessible by the non-residents also.

BEHAVIORAL ARCHITECTURE

WHAT IS BEHAVIORAL ARCHITECTURE?

▪ It is basically the synthesis between human behavioral psychology and

architectural spaces and activities.

▪ There are those architectures of control which physically prevent or direct a

certain type of behavior and there are those designs that regulate user behavior
through the psychological effects of the surrounding built environments.

LIVING PATTERNS:

▪ The patterns of exchange in our bodies are the same as those in a tree, a
watershed, an ecosystem, or an economy

▪ Understanding the patterns of how one of these systems works, we understand

how all of them work, and how to work with them.

▪ This is why patterns are powerful: they enable us to understand and work in very
different media and across vastly different scales.

▪ Living (biological) systems work differently than purely physical systems. Being
based on exchange rather than action and reaction they can only be understood
as flows.

▪ Flows are understandable only as patterns.

DESIGNING FOR PATTERNS AND ACTIVITIES:

1) PATTERNS:

▪ Patterns refer primarily to individual movement

▪ Patterns suggests knowledge of the roles to be played by each person and the
sequence associated with it.

▪ For ex. In a restaurant a guest has the role of a patron, whereas the manager has
a different role, likewise the other persons.

35
2) ACTIVITES:

▪ Activities refer to group movement

▪ A series of patterns performed by the particular role players forms the activities.

▪ Patterns are interweaving, bringing together all the players to function as a group
in pre-determined ways

▪ So, the group patterns are referred to as an activity.

▪ For ex. A group of people in a political meeting, gathering

PLANNING OF PUBLIC SPACES:

In the planning of public spaces, the building should act as a social servant in the
broadest sense. It should anticipate behavior and provide for it. It should be flexible
where social activities are flexible and efficient where social activities are set.

The following factors should be considered in planning of these spaces

- identifying the social activities, the building houses

- the degree of flexibility suggested by each activity

- the house rules that prevail or should prevail

- the background and goals of the participants

36
ADJACENCIES:

The linking of the corridors to the various built spaces may be termed as adjacencies.
Based on the configurations it may be classified as

▪ pass-through adjacency
▪ side by side adjacency
▪ by-pass adjacency
▪ entrance adjacencies
