Those residents with larger families often request this very popular style of housing, which sustains over 50% of those living on the base. In this setup, 12-18 larger housing units share a central atrium which may span from four to six decks. | Those residents with larger families often request this very popular style of housing, which sustains over 50% of those living on the base.

At the centre of these atriums would be an interior area with parkland, ponds or gardens planted inside the starbase to simulate a planet surface and relaxing atmosphere. Hence upon exiting living quarters, residents would enter a shared area that would perhaps look something like this: | |||

All atriums in this setup include a simulated "window" ceiling, which cycles from daylight to evening hours. Atriums are also constructed with greenery in mind, including at least one large arboreal plant situated on the bottom deck of the atrium. Around the flora is also built a central gathering space, which can be converted from a play area for children to a meeting space for adults. This style of housing also forgoes the larger dining areas within each house, which may be found in other styles of housing on the base. Instead, a communal dining area is provided on one floor of the atrium -- although each individual unit still maintains its own replicator for small meals, snacks, and supplies as necessary. | All atriums in this setup include a simulated "window" ceiling, which cycles from daylight to evening hours.

Each house in these small communities does still have its own private space, with a secure front door and the like. However, units must be access from the community space, into which there are only two entrances -- usually one on the highest level, and one on the lowest level. | Each house in these small communities does still have its own private space, with a secure front door and the like.
