Abstract:
This thesis focuses on how interior design could increase social interaction to foster a
stronger sense of community in non-intentional communities, such as gated
subdivisions. This study also explores intentional communities, such as cohousing, to
understand residents’ relationships and practices. Furthermore, this thesis investigates
a gated subdivision clubhouse, how residents use this space, and finally, how interior
design can integrate childcare into the clubhouse to improve the sense of community of
residents in gated subdivisions.
