Project by Julia Sedlock
Designed for a generic site in Chicago, this project proposes a new form of collective urban habitation. A system of nests and perches offers retreat into isolation and inner-life on one hand; exposure and social-life on the other. Nests are warm, cozy, private, small, and static. Perches are open, airy, light, social and flexible, and exist along a gradient of sharing and accessibility, depending on individual, family, and community needs.
LEVEL 3: Private Nest
Individual ownership; quiet, intimate, and introspective.
LEVEL 2: Territorial Cluster
Kitchen and terrace; private entry, visual connection to immediate neighbors, views of terrace and city; compact and efficient.
LEVEL 1: Collective Perch
Open, flexible, differentiated activity areas, “flex space,” visual and acoustic connections.
Sectional Perspective.
