COHABITATION BEYOND THE GRAVE

Thinking through the layered histories entangled in the landscape and ourselves, this project seeks to provide a space for transgenerational living in which the architecture of the home allows for a fluidity between worlds and a space for cohabitation with our ancestors.

In designing not only for the living, but also for the ghosts that remain, we hope to foster an environment in which our ancestral relations are woven into the fabric of everyday life to allow for transgenerational intimacies and care.

While the living spaces are raised above the ground–each unit designed to collect and contain ritual objects that embody complex structures of ancestral relation–the ground floor is treated as a common ground for reflection, healing, and cultivation guided by ancestral knowledge passed down and built upon through generations.
