THE SHIFT

The Shift is a design proposal for an international house at the University of Southern California. The project considers the physical and emotional needs of an international student and through spatial qualities aims to provide an ideal living environment for its user group.

Issues of privacy as well as access to greenery (in a rather lacking environment) have been the driving points for the design. The Shift responds to the challenge of maximizing social spaces while retaining enough privacy and a suitable environment for work/study purposes.
