The third issue of the GENEROSITY series, now on sale

Aurora Fernández Per - June 6, 2023. 12:32

Currently, electronic devices transport the self to virtual realities, blur public with private, even the innermost, and provide a foretaste of a different domestic spatiality. Facing this challenge, and taking a resistant stance, architecture turns its gaze to the recent past and is capable of constructing a privacy in which materiality still preserves its full evocative power.

The third volume of the GENEROSITY series is dedicated to delving into how this privacy is built in the collective housing environment. Stephen Bates signs an extensive article on new architectural options for living together, Javier Mozas summarizes in five points the benefits of a home in which it is possible to achieve domestic happiness and Aurora Fernández Per compares the strategies to improve privacy followed by 8 selected projects.

This collective housing project by Maccreanor Lavington is inserted into the master plan designed by Allies and Morrison and Porphyrios Associates for King’s Cross Central, on a brownfield site previously used for industrial and storage uses located between Regent's Canal and the railway hub. This regeneration plan is based on mixed use and re-densification meaning that the new build has a very high Floor Area Ratio, combined with large areas of public space.

This project of collective housing is located within a block of row houses. As an alternative to the typical typology of London boroughs, occupying this residual void between rear courtyards with six dwellings meant forgoing private outdoor space and connection to the street. This would-be huis clos aims to provide a solution to the scarcity of land to build on while also preserving resident independence. Copper Lane considers itself to be co-housing in that all the dwellings share .
