Pathways and circulation are an important aspect of everyday life no matter where you live. In this project, pedestrian paths are amplified and emphasized in many different ways. There is one main pathway that helps connect everyone in the community together. On this path, you will find unique green spaces, living units, and connections to the surrounding area as well.

This pathway also aligns with a porch between multiple units which promotes socialization and a connection between units. This project can be seen as a system of layers that includesthe unit itself, the shared porch, the large pathway, and finally the green spaces that everyone has access too. These green spaces promote movement throughout the entire project rather than just moving to your unit.

Another key feature of this project is the inclusion of a wide range of green spaces.

These spaces range from gardens to playground spaces as seen in the diagram below. The main purpose behind these spaces is to create a barrier between the road and the units themselves. They also provide a sense of diversity in the project through always moving along the path to reach the spaces. These green spaces also go along with the idea of co-housing by creating community spaces for members

The plans have been split into 3 parts. The first part includes the upper park with basketball courts and a small pavilion.

Next is the upper portion of the project which has both of the larger units along with the common house, smaller units, the garden area, and playground.

Finally the bottom part of the project has the accesible units, a grill pavilion, and 2 other unit types. All of the units are shown in more detail on the following pages.

This color code that was used in the axons is also used in the plans to help show the different untis in relation to the buildigns that hosue them.
