One Apartment

Share

A suite gives each person a bath of 3 grids and a bedroom of 5, opening onto a shared family room of 8 by 8. The bedroom walls roll out or away, so the same space serves four twins, two kings or a playroom, and an apartment can be resized from 2 to 15 suites.

The suite, not the apartment, is the unit of housing: each person has a private bath and bedroom, and the family room is shared. Because the bedroom walls move, the same floor area can serve a couple, a family or children at play without rebuilding, and an apartment is resized by adding or giving up suites. The suites are shown in a full floor on Floors 3, 4 and 5; Dwelling & Private Domain explains how privacy is built in.
