Domestic Work
Domestic Work
- Systemic changes
Work will become increasingly decentralised as emerging economies, networks and organisations disrupt the status quo, demanding alternatives to both traditional work spaces and the housing models that support them.
Occupying a blurred boundary between ownership and rent, and between living and working, Domestic Work creates a network of spaces that can be adapted to evolving needs without being restricted by conventional city zoning or building planning.
Investing Domestic Workers purchase a share of the district rather than an individual property, providing the initial capital for construction while incentivising common stewardship of the area as a whole. A highly adaptable plan provides a multitude of possibilities for living and working, with indeterminate spaces that are accessed through fluid subscriptions.
The project redefines an architecture of both Domesticity and Work, by enhancing the liminal space between them.
