Edifício Trama: estudo preliminar de habitação compartilhada - coliving - em Campina Grande.

Abstract

In a context of urban densification and transformations in living patterns, the city of Campina Grande, Paraiba, faces a growing demand for affordable housing integrated into the urban fabric, especially for students, young professionals, and temporary workers. In this scenario, coliving emerges as a viable alternative, promoting the shared use of resources and encouraging community interaction. This study aims to propose a preliminary design for a multifamily coliving building, with emphasis on the application of bioclimatic architecture strategies to ensure environmental comfort and energy efficiency. The methodology adopted comprised three main stages: a literature review on coliving and bioclimatic architecture; analysis of national and international case studies that served as references for the programmatic requirements; and an assessment of the urban and climatic conditions of the Catolé neighborhood in Campina Grande, which informed the architectural design proposal. The result was the Edifício Trama, a mixed-use project consisting of a commercial ground floor and 102 residential units distributed across 15 floors. The architectural concept seeks to balance collective living and privacy, incorporating shared balconies, coworking areas, laundry facilities, a gym, and a party hall, combined with shading devices, cross-ventilation, and natural lighting strategies to enhance user comfort and minimize environmental impact.
