The physical structure of this exurban community is much like a room. Positive and negative elements of varied function. The proposal takes the functions of a more familiar room to this greater city scale and proposes an ‘urban room’ as a place of comfort, flexibility and nature which has a malleability to be defined and redefine as Everyville’s core. Literal guideline modules are planned so that users may customise spaces for community activities, i.e. making, storing, working, play, adventure, eating, sunbaking, painting blown eggs etc. The ceilings are a simple gesture and the walls may be office space, meeting hall, educational, correctional or consisting of services, infrastructure and industry. The room is for the ephemeral. It does not allow ‘permanent’ structure insertions within. Its floor and podium-edge materialities are derived solely from nature so that, though the community it is supporting may change, the community will forever be accommodated.
