Urban “living” spaces are growing smaller in size in the bigger cities. They are primarily inhabited by millennials - people who aspire for a “BIG” life in the present and future. These apartments become the backdrop for the “BIG” life which includes friends, family, a romantic partner, room-mates, work and entertainment. Millennials use their “living” spaces differently. e.g., due to long transit times or start-ups, millennials run their offices from their homes making these spaces both office and residence. This studio will look at ways to redesign the interiors of these spaces after studying user-behavior and the spaces themselves.
