Best Practices For Urban Coliving Communities, Rachel Osborne

Interior Design Program: Theses and Other Student Work

Coliving, a new typology of housing design, has recently been gaining in popularity. Coliving is a form of rental housing that seeks to create community among its residents by providing features such as extensive shared spaces and community managers paired with typically small, furnished private spaces. Little architectural or interior design research is available to describe this emerging typology, and no best-practices or guiding principles exist to aid designers in ­making informed decisions when designing or evaluating coliving spaces.

This thesis uses a mixed-methods approach to understand the composition of existing coliving facilities as well as the motivations and preferences …

Interior Design Program: Theses and Other Student Work

I also believe that for an interior designer to be successful, a designer must understand and form a bond of trust between themselves and their clients in order to create a functional, beautiful, and unique space that interprets their …

Interior design gives you the opportunity to express your creative ideas that are both multifunctional and comfortable to the client.

Design Philosophy

You were designed to discover. If you never push your boundaries you will never learn to grow. Those that live in comfort are afraid to ever glow. Have faith in yourself and always know, “That faith, as small as a mustard seed can move a mountain.” So where will your journey go?
