Co-daptive Housing

location: Boston, MA
reGEN Boston Design Proposal

Co-daptive demonstrates a new housing typology that will adapt to the needs of diverse urban dwellers and their evolving living situations. In the modern world flux, static housing types have become a burden to owners and the economy as a whole. Co-daptive seeks to address this phenomenon at multiple scales, both spatially and temporarily: first at the level of the unit, through flexible home-owner and tenant configurations; then at the level of the building, which can sectionally accommodate commercial/live-work space on any floor; and lastly through the site and its relationship to the water and rising tides.
