Traffic infrastructure has always been considered as a single function typology. It is a solution to a programmatic need but not an answer to urban living. Could it be a co-living area with nature creating a new combination of infrastructure and natural elements such as light, wind, and rain?With more electrical and clean energy are used in the traffic systems, loud noise, polluting gases will not be as bad as they are now, and living around infrastructure may even become a reality in the future.First, I propose a new typology of a vertical community facing the dilemma of contemporary suburban infrastructure. Then, I deal with a specific site on the joint ring-road of E18 and E4 highway, and the idea is to use it as a bridge connecting with the secondary roads around the site and provide new access for pedestrians and bicycles. The system of kolonistugan and allotment gives possibilities when the condition of inhabiting with infrastructure is not ideal.The modules could be changed into different functions from workshop, allotment to even summerhouse or apartment as the time goes by. And this could give a possibility to make a more positive use of highway structure as the urban expands and rethinking of the co-living with nature and even including infrastructure.
