Intergenerational Urban House Living
Critic: Eric Bunge
📍 New York, NY Living Between Walls | Sharel SJ
Responding to the need for mass housing, connection to nature, and the sustainable adaptative reuse of existing infrastructure, the project pursues the idea of combining the best of suburban house living, community, and re-interprets intergenerational living for an urban context. The language of walls comes from extending the existing column structure of a former building on the site.
