Under ONE Roof is a collective living project designed to accommodate three vulnerable single-mother families. It is built in a single volume with a wood frame, both for better sustainable performance and a lower cost, to not only relieve the burden of living but also to engender a calming and comforting atmosphere. The “Raumplan” organizational structure is adopted to divide units while keeping interaction between areas on different levels to promote a sense of community. The visual connection makes it possible for moms to monitor the house with a more defensive and protective atmosphere.
