UNVEILING REALMS

Unveiling Realms, nestled in the vibrant city of Bologna, Italy, reimagines cohousing through an innovative and community-centric design. Transforming a bustling street between the central train station and the city center, this architectural project seamlessly blends historical charm with modern functionality.

​

At its essence, Unveiling Realms introduces the concept of an interior portico, turning residential floors into communal spaces that foster community and togetherness among diverse inhabitants. The connective spaces, embodying the motto "Collective is also Connection," create a stream-like layout with strategically placed inviting kitchens to encourage spontaneous interactions.

​

Diversity takes center stage as residents of different ages, ethnicities, and professional backgrounds converge in these vibrant centers, forming a melting pot of ideas and cultural richness. An innovative element includes modular aggregates serving as flexible furniture, connecting private units to communal spaces while allowing a constant interplay of light and air throughout the building. The controlled porosity introduced by these modules strikes a delicate balance between privacy and connection, giving residents the autonomy to shape their living experience based on individual preferences.

​

Unveiling Realms transcends traditional renovation, redefining cohousing as a concept thriving on human connections and embracing the diverse tapestry of its inhabitants. This project envisions a dynamic environment where residents enjoy both privacy and a strong sense of community, creating a distinctive and enriching living experience in the heart of Bologna.
