The project explores how housing can act as a physical and social threshold between communities shaped by seasonal rhythms and labour migration. Set on the site of an operating sugar factory in Adapazarı, Turkey, it proposes an overlapping household model for permanent and seasonal workers. At its core is a domestic unit that transforms with the harvest season: living rooms open to become sleeping quarters for incoming seasonal workers, symbolic of both hospitality and cultural codes. The architecture negotiates this overlap through adaptable spatial boundaries. It is a system defined not by ownership, but by labour: the right to live here is bound to the act of working.
