About Collective Ground Kompleks mieszkalny

Collective Ground to kompleks mieszkalny zaprojektowany dla społeczności mieszkaniowej w Senri New Town w Osace, w Japonii. Przestrzenie na wynajem wprowadzono zarówno w częściach wspólnych, jak i w poszczególnych lokalach. Parter mieści powierzchnie handlowe na wynajem, z falistymi układami krajobrazowymi i kieszonkowymi parkami dla mieszkańców i odwiedzających. Od drugiego do czwartego piętra znajdują się wynajmowane biura, przestrzenie usługowe oraz lokale z niezależnymi pokojami, natomiast piętra od piątego do dziewiątego zajmują typowe mieszkania. Nośna konstrukcja z betonu oraz szklane kurtyny tworzą wolną od słupów kondygnację handlową, a stalowa konstrukcja wspiera wyższe piętra.

Unique Properties
This concept of "Collective Ground" involves introducing rentable spaces within the community, encompassing both public areas and individual units. By offering rentable public spaces, additional communal areas are created to attract and serve visitors and existing residents, and by offerting independent rooms within the units, owners have the option to use them personally or rent them out for additional income.
Dimensions & Packaging
The land here has a gentle slope, almost like a flat surface. To blend well with the architecture, a pocket landscape system is added on the ground. It's a versatile playground for all ages—residents and visitors, from kids to seniors. Just like different parts of the building have diverse activities on the ground, each pocket park has its theme. They're not just pathways; they're designed for outdoor activities and relaxation. The idea is to encourage people to stay and enjoy, not just rush through.

Production Technology
In terms of structural considerations, the introduction of load-bearing concrete components and glass curtains has been implemented to create a more flexible commercial space, resulting in the establishment of a non-column system. On the upper floors, where residential units are more regulated, a steel structure has been utilized.
Design Challenge
Aoyamadai, a low-income housing community in Senri New Town, Japan, is in a tricky situation. On one hand, the affordable housing is 50 years old and needs replacing, and the community needs new residents. On the other hand, it's not appealing to younger people, and the original residents can't afford to make the community more attractive to a mix of ages. As architectural designers, our challenge is figuring out how to revitalize Aoyamadai into a lively community without causing problems for the older residents.
Research
Research was conducted on the Phaeno Science Center, designed by Zaha Hadid, as this project also made use of the concrete component as the supporting system. Lessons were learned on how to handle the rebar and concrete.
Inspiration
Japan's aging population and declining birth rate have led to a growing elderly demographic, a challenge that has persisted over time. Aoyamadai, a low-income housing community in Senri New Town, Japan, is now at a critical juncture. The community needs to replace its economically affordable housing after five decades of use and breathe new life into the elderly population.
Project Duration
The project is in Senri New Town, Osaka, Japan, and finished in 2020.
Operation Flow
Commercial spaces available for rent occupy the programming of the first floor, featuring curvilinear landscapes and playground systems. The second to fourth floors encompass rented offices, amenity spaces for residents, and units with independent rooms. The fifth to ninth floors house typical units.
