The Ideal City: Exploring Urban Futures, was published through a collaboration between Copenhagen-based research and design lab Space10 and renowned international design and art book publisher Gestalten. Through a series of expert essays and profiles on projects from around the world, including Schemata’s very own Capitol Hill Urban Cohousing, The Ideal City explores “the ambitious actions and initiatives being brought to life across the globe to meet tomorrow’s demand in clever, forward-thinking ways.” The book travels to 53 different cities in 30 countries detailing examples of a truly liveable city for the many.
Capitol Hill Urban Cohousing (CHUC) is a five-story intentional community comprised of nine homes over a street level commercial space, located in the dense urban center of Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. Designed by Schemata Workshop, the project was led by principals Grace Kim and Michael Mariano, who are also founding members and residents of the community. It is a visionary project - setting a model for dense, resilient, and community-oriented urban housing.
We are honored for CHUC to be featured in The Ideal City alongside boundary-pushing projects from around the globe.
