Co-Habitat

Living In Sync with the Desert

Location: Palm Springs, CA US
Urban Design Studio, MIT Fall 2018
In Collaboration with Melissa Gutiérrez Soto

Adjacent to the mountains in the desert of Palm Springs, Co-Habitat explores a new type development that integrates housing and recreation with its natural landscape. Following the path of the washes emerging from the mountains, this new development takes advantage of the space and flexibility obtained by introducing Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) to suburbia and breaks the classic suburban grid to create a linear and dynamic system of housing and recreational activities.
