The architecture of this co-living work hub, situated on the outskirts of the city, attempts to create an oasis of wooden construction as an alternative to city life, a work from home option that is both affordable and sustainable. The facility incorporates a multiplicity of courtyards, lush vegetable gardens, and expansive terraces that provide residents with many conditions and spaces for working and interacting. The perimeter of the plan becomes a donut of residential units which vary in area, creating a diverse set of layouts for different sizes of families or individual living. At the center, the communal spaces provide places for office space, kitchen and dining, lectures, individual work, or spaces for learning or exercising.

The courtyards facing the in the inner perimeter serve as inviting gathering spaces that encourage social interactions and foster shared experiences among residents. These open areas are designed for both relaxation and engagement, as well as serving the community as functional gardens with vegetables to be shared by all, an overall series of programs that encourage neighbors to come together for casual conversations or organized events. The lush gardens, integrated into the overall layout, contribute to a serene and calming atmosphere. Cascading terraces positioned throughout the perimeter provide residents with protected panoramic views of the landscape. The use of CLT as its primary construction material reinforces the building's carbon neutrality and creates an inviting and warm living machine. Here, residents can establish a strong sense of belonging and identity and enjoy the flexibility of modern living, including the ability to work remotely, cook in groups, and exercise in teams. In essence, the project tries to negotiate, in close adjacency, moments of individual living and group communion, to propose new ways to live that allow to take-in the beauty of countryside nature without giving up on the benefits of city living.
