This thesis proposes that the boundary between private dwelling and public life is a site of exchange, warmth, and collective belonging. Through the architectural act of stitching, the project intertwines the public and private realm, dismantling thresholds to invite inhabitation, encounter, and interdependence. What if the space between a front door and a sidewalk became the most alive place on the block? By softening the public-private edge, architecture creates conditions for encounter without demanding it, becoming a participant in community life rather than a backdrop to it.
