Hunter's Point Cooperative Housing
The site is treated as an active but divided neighborhood, where residents, workers, amenities, and waterfront movement rarely converge. The proposal reworks the former rail-line logic and the current urban grid into a layered system of workshops, housing, green rooms, vendor stalls, and communal thresholds.
A regular structural frame supports adaptable units, widened landings, shared kitchens, laundries, and craft spaces that can shift as patterns of work and occupancy change. Housing becomes a civic instrument: not only a place to live, but a structure for encounter between production, domestic life, commerce, and public space.
How can housing create sustained overlap in a neighborhood defined by movement, commuting, and separated forms of work and life?
