Survivors of domestic abuse, especially single mothers have difficulty navigating life and are often accompanied by negative stigmas; which led to the research question: How can co-housing help create a support system for single mothers who faced domestic abuse?

Following the notion: “it takes a village to raise a child”, the project dissects the needs of these single mothers to design spaces that enable them to co-live, co-parent, collaborate and communicate, which will create a strong community that encourages them to take care of each other, aiding in the process of healing and helping them get back on their feet.
