For an individual to think of their house as their home there needs to be an established community and collective spaces for one to feel at home.

To accomplish this, I propose 8 multifamily buildings with a semipublic green rooftop and 9 surrounding public buildings. This open community invites neighbors in as it includes public spaces for social gatherings and services, such as a community center, an elderly center with a vegetable garden, and a grocery store, among others.

There are multiple collective scales from private spaces and patios inside the units, to semipublic as we can see in the rooftop or laundry rooms, collective kitchens and work-study areas, and finally to public spaces that invite neighbors in, such as the community center.
