“CO-HUB” is a design proposal for a mixed-use tower in NYC.

This proposal is trying to challenge the typical program distribution of typical vertical high rise towers. A new typology was then invented to provide horizontally interlocked and integrated program spaces in an tower. The large diversity of programs can provide different user groups with flexible uses of spaces.

Live and work programs are the main focus of this project. From the top to bottom there will be: Cooperate office + hotel guest rooms, general office + hotel apartments for short and mid term use, Shared Office(Like WeWork) + Dormitory, SOHO(Small Office Home Office) lofts. A shared program(Gym, Pantry, Auditorium, Conference Room, Meeting Room etc.) will be inserted in between the live and work programs on each floor and work as a supplementary.
