Designing Mixed-Use Residential Buildings

Designing buildings that house very different program types—like residential, commercial, and/or community spaces—presents unique challenges. It requires balancing the needs of each function, ensuring privacy for residents while maintaining public accessibility and vibrancy. Navigating zoning and spatial constraints further complicates the process. But when done well, these mixed-use buildings offer dynamic, multifunctional spaces that foster stronger community connections, support sustainability, and enhance the urban experience.
