Under One Roof

Core Architecture Studio Washington University in St. Louis Spring 2014

Proposal

Design a dwelling for unmarried parents to continue to co-raise their children while also ensuring individual parent privacy. 

Inspired  by origami, and the ability to contain and support seperate spaces using one continuous material, this project aims to generate a dwelling unit to unite complicated family structures 

Relevant Concerns 

To what extent are the spaces public/private? 
In what ways can this dwelling expand and shrink according to the needs of the family?
How can community be encouraged throughout the household without over stepping the boundaries of privacy?
