Though we live in proximity to others, our interactions are minimal. We move from street to apartment through elevators and hallways without ever engaging our neighbors. There’s a false sense of togetherness — one that’s spatially close but socially distant.
But what if living together wasn’t just a condition, but an intention? By designing domestic space that fosters collectivity, we can create buildings that don’t just house people, but support shared life. It’s about reimagining thresholds, circulation, and the in-between — not just as paths, but as spaces for community, care, and coexistence.
