SK Village

Free Commune Living

Accommodation is one of the main or even the most important factor in life in order for one to start their life. There are many barriers which disable one from having a place to start their life, these range from financial barriers to mental health. There has been an ongoing pattern in the world, of individuals not being able to get things going in their life because they can’t get that one thing to take them to the next level, the one thing being accommodation with the basic essentials to live.

SK Village is a continuation from the Sekai Space project collection. The goal as like in the previous Sekai Space’s is to provide a solution towards an ongoing societal/global problem of young adults or individuals struggling to escape an abusive or difficult environment due to their financial circumstances or mental health. The SK Village concept continues to stress the need for highly realistic solutions, in order to overtake the current unrealistic solutions in the current world we live in.

The SK Village experience will give individuals a realistic chance of being able to start their life while being given the awareness of a safe and healthy environment. Unlike the Local Neighbourhood House feel, SK Village takes a slightly different form in a way of being more communal and community focused but not in an overwhelming manner, in a way of letting individuals feel they can live their own life within reason.

The concept aims to be located in a quiet location within good access to the city and the essentials such as supermarkets and similar. The village complex has the flexible capability of being scattered around the city in the most perfect spots.

SK Village consists of 5 main individual structures which include 2 bedrooms/living spaces, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and a dining/work area all per individual structure. In addition to the main structures, space to walk, seating areas, open sitting cubicles, fresh trees and plants are located within good distance from the main structures.

The village uses a mixture of lightweight, heavyweight elements and materials which include structural metal tiling, steel, reflective and coloured metallics, stone/stone floor tiling, coloured concrete variations, concrete tiling. glass, light hidden uses of plastics, glass and wood.

The village exterior takes inspiration from light/bold movement, brutalism, minimalism, neon city lights, tall maze like walls and dividing walls; the interior in the main structures takes inspiration from a more simple selection such as modern minimal Parisian apartments, modern art, coworking, dark tunnelled hallways.

All elements that make up the SK Village including the systematic purpose of the space, strive to not make individuals feel too overwhelmed with positive motivation, the space just sits and invites whom wants to enter for each individual to personally feel they’ve escaped a period of their life in order to move forward into improvement and future peace of mind.
