Can the way we design homeshelp shape human resilience?
This paper presents our Design Line, New Ways of Living (NWL) — an internal framework developed byIl Prisma’s Business Unit “Cityscape” as a result of our research and interpretation of the evolving landscape in residential design. Rooted in our extensive expertise, the NWL framework draws on a blend of trend analysis, client needs, and our lived experiences — both as designers and residents — to offer a strategic lens for addressing the growing diversity of housing needs.
The framework categorizes contemporary housing into three main typologies: Standard Living, Shared Living, and Short-term Living—each reflecting distinct lifestyle values, user needs, and occupancy models. Standard Living upholds traditional values of stability and permanence, supporting long-term living in both Build-to-Rent and Build-to-Sell models. In contrast, Shared Living centers on collectiveness, affordability, and community-driven formats—such asco-living and senior housing—designed for medium-term occupation. Finally, Short-termLiving reflects the fluidity and flexibility required by digital nomads, tourists, and transient populations, offering adaptive solutions for temporary stays.
