COLLABORATORIO

Architecture that fosters connection.
Kuokkalan Kalon gathers 161 homes around a generous shared courtyard, with five CLT buildings designed to encourage encounters between residents.
All access points face the courtyard; there is no underground parking — allowing bigger trees and community spaces to take priority.
Shared stairwells and ground-floor spaces invite everyday interaction, nurturing a sense of belonging through proximity and openness.
