Sharing Tower
As a proposal for micro-unit housing in New York City, this project exploits the possibility of sharing economy, and how could it be realized architecturally. It aims to redefine housing in our age, when demographic shift, technology, and new economy are transforming our city. In New York City, the migration of young professionals and retired aged population bring challenges but also opportunities for housing. Sharing Tower responds to this challenge by exploiting the potential of module, material and sharing spaces.
This project starts with three modules, which are based on a 15’ by 15’ grid. They are made of reinforced resin winding around steel structure, so that a translucent space is enclosed inside. Modules are further aggregated into different unit types that accommodate different needs. In this project, 3 unit types, which are 450 sqft, 675 sqft and 1,000 sqft are designed to satisfy the needs from single to family. Each unit are designed as duplexes thus to separate living space and bedroom. In between the translucent resin walls, house-shape voids are open and shared. They are where collective spaces such as communal kitchen, shared balcony and study are located. Shared by 2 or 3 units, these house-shape voids connect and invigorate private units. Sharing Tower is not merely more affordable because of the shared facilities and spaces, it is also more interactive and communal, which is crucial for both young people and aged people, whom require more communication and exchange. On the ground level, cafe and small business incubator are serving all the inhabitants and the city, along with other facilities such as laundromat, lobby and mailbox room. This project operates on the edge of minimum living and maximum possibility. By examining this limit, housing regains its power as an agency to enable individuals and thus to redefine our living environment.
