The ADAPTHOME project is an exploration of adaptable living spaces designed to meet the diverse needs of modern occupants. Located in a contemporary setting, it focuses on modularity and sustainability. The overall design aims to create functional environments where users can customize their living experience according to their preferences and lifestyle.

Architectural Concept
The main idea behind ADAPTHOME is the use of modular cubes that can be prefabricated off-site. This approach not only streamlines the construction process but also makes it easy to transport and set up. With the ability to expand or alter their homes, residents can adjust the space as their needs change. Flexibility is a core principle, allowing the architecture to adapt to various living requirements.

Materiality
The project prioritizes sustainability through the choice of materials. Natural biobased materials are used throughout, ensuring they are free from harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This selection supports the overall life cycle of the building, aiming for easy dismantling and composting when the structure is no longer in use. The focus on eco-friendly materials reinforces a commitment to environmentally conscious design.

Interior Layout and Customization
Inside ADAPTHOME, a repeated grid system enables occupants to rearrange their space easily. This layout encourages personalization, allowing residents to use off-the-shelf materials for furniture and fixtures. Such an arrangement maximizes the functionality of each living area. The use of flexible furniture means that every piece can serve multiple roles, a practical solution for smaller living spaces.

Breathable Envelope
The design avoids the use of a vapor control layer (VCL) in the building envelope, resulting in a structure that is both holistic and breathable. This element enhances the building's adaptability to changing weather conditions and supports good indoor air quality. As a result, the structure remains comfortable and durable, contributing to a healthy living environment.

One engaging detail of the design is the incorporation of adaptable furniture. Each piece is crafted to fit within the modular design, promoting efficiency without compromising on style. This thoughtful approach underscores the project’s commitment to flexible living within a balanced and sustainable framework.
