Practical application of Johannes Itten's colour theory on the visual identity of cohousing communities

Although space has been extensively studied in the context of design and architecture, and there is a growing interest in cohousing, the lack of specific research connecting the colour of space with the social and emotional aspects of this housing model creates a gap in the existing body of literature. Through the analysis of examples from around the world and colour theory, this research explores how the colour of space can impact the sense of belonging, community, and comfort in cohousing communities. This paper aims to contribute to the development of a theoretical and practical understanding of the relationship between the colour of space and the concept of communal living, particularly through the application of Johannes Itten's colour theory. The presented research is based on the assumption that the visual identity of architectural environments builds a strong community identity. The research focuses on practical recommendations for cohousing communities to select colours that align with their visions and goals.
