HOME 50 

HOME 50 is a residential building consisting of 48 households, each for 50 residents. It is located on the northwest corner of CBD, opposite to Flagstaff gardens. It sets up new kind of urban family, creating a deeply sociable environment, collecting and drawing on the qualities of the suburban house and the apartment tower.

In a busy urban life, a large number of people are limited to home and their workplaces, making it hard to meet new friends other than colleagues. HOME 50 provide opportunities for people from different working areas to set up new relationships and even become intimate friends. This is a co-living area, and an urban collective household.

The dwellings create an extremely close neighbour relationship by compressing individual space while collecting the common space together. The terraces, courtyard gardens and the large but concentrated common areas of each household break up the isolation between urban residents, creating a lively everyday environment. It is a residential building not only for the individual but also a new type of family community.
