The NestThe Nest is a housing development made up of “nested” additions to an existing com-munity. It is good housing because it adds density to the community and allows for interesting spatial experiences. There was housing kind of like this in Catal Huyuk. The Nest works as individual units independent from eachother, with its own en-trance. But part of it exists in someone else’s unit. Its parts increase density with the partial insertion of units within others, the addition of units dont necessarily take up more space. They exist in the air space of another unit. The Nest is best demonstrated in both the detailed plans and in section. The target audience of the Nest are new, young families, young professionals and students who are looking for communal so-cial living but with simultaneous privacy.

Housing developments are synonymous with cookie cutter suburban houses. Each one copy and pasted and placed side by side. Every resident has their own private space within their boundary, with their set of rights recorded on their property. This is yours and that is mine. But what would happen if these
boundaries seemed not to exist? In The Nest, a house is placed within someone else’s house. Who does the intersection belong to? Is it yours, or is it mine?
These are the questions that The Nest presents. In this housing development, there are times where the space created through intersection isn’t yours, it’s
merely your neighbors living room, jutted into your space, thus declaring it not your space. Can this density and close proximity of space begin to affect social behavior; create relationships, break relationships, influence friendships, and
determine how one lives their life. This project represents a generative concept of where personal relationships and connections determine aggregation
of housing units. The Nest is a type of inside out living. The formally known boundaries of inside/outside, private/public, and mine/yours are dissolved.
