多户住宅原型 · 既有住宅类型更新
本项目以芝加哥经典的 6-Flat 住宅类型为研究对象，回应当代城市中对可负担、多样化居住方式的现实需求。设计在保留原有住宅结构与经济可行性的前提下，重新审视这一成熟住宅类型在当下生活方式中的适应潜力。
项目以一套典型 6-Flat 平面为基础，通过对空间分隔、动线组织与使用关系的重新设计，在不增加建筑复杂度的情况下，引入更具灵活性的居住单元组合方式。住宅不再被视为固定功能的容器，而是一种可随不同家庭结构与生活需求调整的空间框架。
在整体尺度上，设计将单栋住宅视为一个共享社区，通过入口序列与公共庭院的重新组织，加强住户之间的联系，同时为个体生活保留必要的私密性。该项目提出了一种在既有住宅类型中实现“低成本更新、高适应性居住”的可能路径，为城市住宅更新与定制化居住需求提供参考。
Multi-Family Prototype · Retrofitting Existing Housing Typologies
This project takes the classic Chicago "6-Flat" typology as its subject, addressing the contemporary urban demand for affordable and diverse living modes. While preserving the original structural integrity and economic feasibility of the building, the design re-examines the adaptive potential of this established typology within the context of modern lifestyles.
Grounded in a typical 6-Flat floor plan, the project redesigns spatial divisions, circulation organization, and functional relationships. It introduces flexible unit combinations without increasing architectural complexity. The residence is no longer viewed as a container for static functions, but rather as an adaptable spatial framework capable of evolving alongside changing family structures and living needs.
On a holistic scale, the design envisions the single building as a shared community. By reorganizing the entrance sequence and the public courtyard, the project fosters stronger connections among residents while preserving essential privacy for individual life. This proposal offers a viable pathway for achieving "low-cost retrofitting and high-adaptability living" within existing housing stocks, providing a reference for urban renewal and customized housing demands.
