NARRATIVE
four families,
one shared home
Jalan Geneng reimagines the inter-terrace typology as a vertically connected home for four multi-generational families, bringing ten family members together under one roof.
Each level offers a degree of independence and privacy, while shared facilities create opportunities for the families to reconnect. A carefully coordinated vertical circulation strategy allows distinct daily routines to coexist without compromising the sense of belonging that defines a shared family home.
