Generation Z: Rebuilding Community and Connections

This proposal is for a live and work environment located in the Exchange District of Winnipeg, Manitoba. In the wake of COVID-19, the facility is intended to provide Gen Z with a sense of pride through ownership and build a community through the programming that will take place within as this design aims to merge commercial and residential design. This practicum seeks to use interior design to provide the next generation with a solid foundation and a more permanent space in which they can feel confident, safe and a part of a community they are excited to interact with. While considering the challenges Gen Z is facing this will guide the programming within the apartment design and will help cater events and workshops that will draw in Gen Z.
