Bree Street Co-Housing

This project was a theoretical exercise designed to explore various models of short-term co-living and co-working spaces made up of continuously changing transient individuals working and living in tight proximity within different inner-city contexts. We chose a site on Bree Street, Cape Town to explore these ideas. This proposal adds four new residential levels to an existing six storey building, using a structural exoskeleton wrapping around the building to create a contemporary façade, addressing sun- screening, privacy and scale.
