“Theatrical Living” merges housing and theater, reimagining daily life as a collective performance. Instead of solely integrating theaters or performance spaces as a amenities in the building, we are trying to extract fundamental attributes that make up the theatrical experience and implement them into housing spatially and visually as a mean to explore a new co-living experience, with operable curtains in both the exterior facade and interior window that offers residents agency to control privacy and viewership over their spaces. Housing, viewed through a theatrical lens, transforms into a captivating backdrop for the diverse daily activities of its residents. In this case, hallways become stages, cooking sounds and neighborly interactions compose the play. Residents collectively engage in a shared performance, with daily activities transforming into compelling scenes. In essence, Theatrical Living aims to create an immersive environment where the boundaries between daily life and performance blur, fostering a sense of community through shared experiences.
