Highrise of Homes, for vertical communities

Highrise of Homes is 1981 theoretical project by SITE for urban locations in the USA. The Color rendering shows a multi-story matrix that can accommodate a vertical community of private houses, clustered into distinct village-like communities on each floor.

This housing structure offers apartment dwellers the unique advantages of garden space and personalized architectural identity in a multi-story condominium. The building is a steel and concrete matrix supporting a vertical community of private homes, clustered into village-like communities on each floor. One of the objectives is to offer an alternative to conventional housing design in the cityscape – replacing it with an anti-formalist urban collage of indeterminacy, idiosyncrasy and cultural diversity created by residents themselves.
