RESULT

This research will be a reference document for KPMB’s residential team so new housing typologies can be presented to prospective clients and expand the housing market.

They aim to make these new typologies attractive enough to shift the current building style of residences in Canada while promoting the benefits of unconventional “missing middle” housing modes that promote community living.

The main argument is that the advantages of these alternate modes of living cannot be quantifiable which is why we should be advocating for them.

My research will provide a first draft of what these designs could achieve and be further developed in future projects at the office.

In my practice, I hope to keep studying communal living alternatives that are also sustainable and attractive to the inhabitants in different contexts around the globe, especially in South America.
