The corridor-rooms monotony is inflected into a quartet externally undulating and internally continuous. Each corner opens to natural sceneriesand nourishes public activities: dining and kitchen, shared office and party terrace. Every quarter encircles a bright and draughty atrium with bridges, stairs and tiered seats composing an open-street-like continuous routeinspiring encounters, chatting, working, dining and spending. Color and material take on the spatial signs and direction despite a limited cost.

Thus, a simple and flexible framework combines spatial innovations with daily scenes, differentiating and articulating private, shared and collective zones and facilitates community growth. Though already transited from a uniform collective era to the flexible plural, the residential typology remains narrow-minded, to which the architect responds powerfully: mutual cooperation and positive interaction with environment through inter-spatial sharing based on equality and self-sufficiency – the ‘New Youth Commune’.
