The plate in brief

Most housing gives you two options, your apartment or the street. The Hosh has four. Your home is yours: a lockable door, quiet walls, your own windows, and your own climate. Three to five households share a shaded landing, where kids play and neighbors run into each other. Every second or third floor opens onto a sky hosh, a garden room in the air with a shared kitchenette and a long table. At street level the building meets the neighborhood through a repair co-op, a tool library, and a cafe, with a separate, secure entrance for residents.

The point is that sharing adds choices without taking any away. You can close your door and be alone, or step out and find people, at whatever distance suits you that day. A little street, running horizontally and vertically.
