Philadelphia Micro housing
New Tendencies in Micro Housing for Millenials
According to the Pew Research Center Millenials are the most educated generation in America. Nevertheless they are faced with unprecedented financial burdens that hinder their ability to obtain luxuries. It is in this disconnect between millennial desire and their economic reality that a new housing paradigm is born. In this project the particular housing tendencies of the emergent millennial generation in Philadelphia are catered though an interlocked web of programmatic “Essentials” and “Luxuries”. The symbiotic relationship between these two dichotomies creates an environment of program sharing whose ultimate goal is to give the user access to amenities that under a normative, individualistic housing model, would be impossible.
