the Kyrle Co-operative

The project

Oliver's 3rd year project is the Kyrle Co-operative; a communal housing project based in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire. The project aims to challenge the convention of isolated living and individual ownership of amenities in housing by creating a project that includes shared living, kitchen and laundry spaces. Oliver wishes for this project to aid in rejuvenating the declining young community in Ross through creating flexible communal spaces and encouraging social interaction between residents.
