HABITAT U is a residential complex located in San Fransisco, USA. It resides on a plot previously assigned to a grocery store. The project consists of an open ground floor for retail stores, food carts, and a grocery store. The other floors are allocated to residencies with multiple open spaces of whom some are public and others private. Each floor is accompanied by a communal space from a lounge to recording studios, a library and finally communal living apartments.

The idea behind these in-between spaces came from the urge to create a creator space in which residents and non-residents can sit down and enjoy outdoor space designed with different creative aspects in mind. The project also takes a structural aspect with the long cantilevers that lead to outside-the-box structural thinking.
