How water architectures space? The project redefines living typology centered on water. It deals with a shared dwelling for ten people, and two families. It explores the relationship between services (kitchen and bathroom) and water consumption, by rethinking their traditional configuration. Water becomes the centerpiece of the living, underscoring water rituals and providing a warning about water consumption.
The rainwater harvesting system on the roof passes through descends to the living area where it is used for the communal uses. The visible water network enable the quantity and flow of water to be monitored. All the water points are concentrated in one shared space, proposing a new lifestyle using water system. This ritual offers a poetic narrative to living environment for the objective: renewing the city within the interior.
