Collective living offers a possible alternative to the current housing situation present in the UK. The emergence of this movement requires a new form of architecture which may develop from a renewal of historic shared housing models. Through the examination of historic precedents, this project explores the spatial characteristics that promote the necessary degree of sociability and conviviality for collective inhabitation. The project offers an insight into how the series of inter-connected rooms and the middle room can be used in the creation of a new collective household. One which facilitates a more adaptable and contingent form of plan making. These principles are in line with the design methodology of studio 2, which is based on developing fragments with a high precision of detail and material knowledge.
