The project proposes a living &#8220;co-living &amp; co-working&#8221; ecosystem that balances individual privacy with collective productivity under a single roof. By merging living, working, and socializing within a shared spatial framework, the design offers a participatory environment tailored for modern urban life.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The ground floor serves as the primary layer where social and professional lives intersect. A social hub in the form of a caf\u00e9 and a productive coworking space are separated by a spatial threshold\u00a0an open transition area defined by a central tree. This area not only defines the main entrance but also creates a serene pause point for users, ensuring controlled interaction between functions while providing direct access to the shared circulation core.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the residential units on the upper floors, unique strategies are implemented based on varying user needs. In the 1+1 units, which are positioned closer to the ground-floor social activity, private terraces are omitted to maximize spatial efficiency. In contrast, the 2+1 units, which offer a more spa<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">cious layout, and the more compact 1+0 units are supported by generous terrace configurations that radically extend the boundaries of the interior outward. By challenging conventional housing typologies, these qualitative openings integrate living spaces with an expansive sky-view experience, providing users with high psychological comfort.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The building mass is shaped through a stepped configuration, receding on upper levels to enhance daylight access and create private outdoor retreats.
