Abstract

The sustainable paradigm is here. Attended by certifications and building regulations, rules and wrongs, does and don’ts are claimed in manifold – but in the midst of the rationality, the unconsciousness notice a missing piece in the present sustainable direction – the human has been forgotten. This project reintroduces the human perception in a phenomenological exposition, where life becomes sustainable. Revolving around Common Housing, an ebullient community is created, with space for both fellowship and privacy. The architecture possesses a strong expression that carves through the natural landscape, all emitting from one singular Omni-present centre. A centre that is saturated in all corners of the community. A centre that introduces a new awareness in the sustainable home.
