a new approach of home for the urrban environmentSamenvatting
Hometown is dedicated to the economically homeless: the nest flyers, the singles on a low income, the pensioners, collectives, students, a wide variety of home seekers who hardly have a chance to succeed in the present housing situation. The whole spectrum of financial, legal, social, urban, and architectural factors in housing supply and demand is scrutinized and realigned in a new set of arrangements for affordable and adaptive housing. With a standard urban block site for a start, or an existing freestanding block on a plot, high density is achieved by taking the maximum volume on the site and cutting it open to let in the required light and air. Multiple routes or corridors, connected to vertical access points, create a network of passages throughout the sections of the block, a unifying framework that can be adapted to local interventions. The sections serve different groups of rent/buy homeowners, united in CPO-arrangements, who can plan and finish their sections according to their own programs and wishes, including collective or commercial spaces.
