Book Description
This thesis poses the question of how we are to house the family of the future. The concept of the strictly nuclear family as a backbone of our civilization is disintegrating under the onslaught of careers, of divorce, of teen pregnancy, and of abusive home life. Though many of these trends are deplorable, there are cases in which the decision to be a single parent is a constructive one. But, whether voluntary or not, the situation of the single parent is a difficult one. Single parenthood entails the combination of roles and tasks usually shared by two adults. A child who lives with only one parent has fewer resources for support, whether financial or emotional, and may lack necessary role models. Single-parent families, therefore, are families with extraordinary needs. It is the premise of this thesis that many of these needs are related to housing. Among the issues involved are childcare, location of the workplace, the sense of home and of belonging to a neighborhood, of having a 'turf ' of one's own. These issues are not limited to the single- parent family, per se. But these families have both greater economic and emotional constraints, and fewer resources for housing and services. The present-day housing market does not cater to this ever-growing segment of our population. The attempt to define the housing- related needs of these families is paralleled by a design exploration. The site is 21 adjacent lots in a residential neighborhood of San Francisco. The program is for a cluster development of 24 units, incorporating various levels of cooperative living. There are single units and shared units all have features that are intended to enhance the possibility of sharing childcare or chores, and to facilitate the reintegration of the workplace with the home.

Book Description
In American Society, we are continuously building housing for single families. The traditional family from the 1950s has been the model for housing, but there has been no consideration for housing alternative families. Alternative families consist of a single parent, a grandfather taking care of a child, a gay couple living together, etc. My focus in this theoretical document was placed on single parent families. Single parents have to take care of the household, work and take care of the children. This is a big task for many people and I have developed a housing community to help facilitate the lives of single parents. I have focused on providing shared spaces within the home to foster relationships between families and help relieve some of the daily chores of single families. I have created a community where people can come together and help each other out with their daily lives.
