THE LEADING

PROBLEM

estimated population increase by 2050

7 out of 10

people will be living in urban areas by 2050

RISING URBAN POPULATION & INCREASED ISOLATION

Millenials and Gen-Z are choosing flexible and short term reflections of lifestyles as the working culture drastically shifts in many industries.

AFFORDABLE

Cost of living has become a huge factor for many. Renting is more feasible than home ownership for many millenials.

NOMADIC

Millenials are known as the loneliest generation and seek to find communities and that allow for social, economic and envrionmental impacts.

VALUES

Younger generations are valuing experiences over physical possessions. Settling down may not be a priority as it was before.

ISOLATION

SAN FRANCISCO CALIFORNIA

San Francisco has a diverse population that has developed over many decades. The rise of tech and evergrowing opportunities pushes the city to question the norm and find ways to grow.

BUT WHY

SAN FRANCISCO

17% 25%

of households are made up of 1 individual in S.F. apartments

of Americans feel they have no one to confide in identify increased risk of health issues due to isolation

MEDIAN RENT PER 1-BEDROOM IN S.F. < $2,799 < $2,800 - 2,900 < $3,000 - 3,599 < $3,600

THE SOLUTION

CO-LIVING

and sharing essential spaces that allow for daily tasks, social interactions and growth opportunities.

CO-WORKING

and providing the possibility to integrate work while embracing a lifestyle balance.

CO-REACHING

to practice a sustainable, ethical and meaningful way of life while striving for self-growth.

THE FUTURE IS

INCLUSIVE San Francisco - the hub for technology, innovation and cultural diversity, yet daily lives of individuals are not reflected in the spaces that they live in. The aim is to integrate all walks of life by creating inclusive communities that are flexible, sustainable and encourage social interaction with an innovative model of urban living. Design will challenge the expectations of what a â&#x20AC;&#x153;homeâ&#x20AC;? really is, and how living in the future starts today.

PARTNERS Incroporating both public and private partners to gain diverse perspectives on transforming the future city - San Francisco Planning, Rebuilding Together and Google.

SUSTAINABLE

DESIGN

ADVANTAGES Faceted windows help with heat reduction and electricity use. Exterior will not need to be altered and is in well form. Easy access to nearby existing services. DISADVANTAGES It will be expensive to get LEED certified. Excessive use of materials for construction may not be good for the environment. LEED SITES CRITERIA Heat island reduction / Direct exterior access / Joint use facilities / Open space

BUILDING | SITE ANALYSIS

SITE OPPORTUNITIES/ISSUES

BUILDING APPROACH

DESIGN USE

Great cultural background in the Mission, with access to many services. However, noise and accessibility solutions need to be studied further.

Exterior will not be altered. However, the windows will need to be considered greatly to cohesively fit the interior aesthetic and design.

This analysis will help to understand how users will be interacting with the interior and exterior space, emphasizing the importance of circulation.
