PLACELESS LIVING NY

Millenial’s life in modern Metropolis is no more bounded by one place as a home. Temporality and boundless movements supported by app-based sharing transportations like UBER or scooters are two keys to understanding their urban lifestyles. The traditional housing as a fixed home can not provide a full potential of new urban life and creates wasted resources like returning travel and unused/less frequently spaces in an apartment. New York City is a young people’s city of the average age of 35 years old, mostly students and young professionals. It is one of the busiest cities in the world, where the new lifestyle has been flourishing. Everyone is busy moving.  Also, its extremely high real estate market makes it one of the most expansive cities to live, $1.3 million of the average cost of an apartment and $3,000 average 1-bed room apartment rent. This application seeks sustainable adaptation of the new lifestyle in NYC.  The home is now available to be rented by the hour, day, and month, anywhere in the NYC by wireless reservations.  It is no more fixed point of the home, but a home that is placeless. The traditional housing programs, such as the living room, kitchen, have been detached from the core and become an autonomous unit that can be also reserved by anyone. It reduces wasted spaces, and in return, people get lower rent and more green open space.
