Hyperspace – an experimental dwelling

As a demand for housing continues to increase exponentially and ownership starts to become secondary to experience and location, the need for new types of dwellings appropriate to today’s way of life becomes apparent. The thesis aims to explore a novel typology of dwellings with a focus on efficiency, gradients of sharing, and a high level of services. By sorting the everyday use of space into two distinctive categories of leisure and utility, the objective of the proposal is to generate a new typology of experimental housing. The private, functional aspect of living is optimized into a hyperspace acting as structural bones to the building, while leaving the remaining open space to be explored as an experience driven communal-living room.
