Our project - Social Housing - introduced a spectrum of housing options based on a students level of social behavior.

Students were divided into four core social categories: Loner, Introverted, Extroverted and Gregarious.

In between these four are buffer categories that sought to bridge the gaps between the core four making a total of eight categories.

These categories not only informed the design of the building such as balconies, bathrooms, bedrooms, but also the building’s program. Every aspect was dictated by the categories and rules derived from them.
