Concept Design Non-Standard Habitat
Monday's results
These are some of the results from our first brainstorm in the morning.
We decided to define a target group and a target durability.
From these ideas, a single concept emerged. A shared centre space containing an entrance, kitchen and flexible living. Connecting to this space are rotatable units that contain personal facilities like bedroom, desk, sofa and open space. The other side of this unit is static again and contains storage space and 'wet cell' facilities like toilet and shower.

Concept
Student housing with a central static shared space and multimodal dynamic personal spaces.
[Floorplan shared / personal]
[Floorplan open / closed]
[Floorplan static / interactive]
The interactive personal space is shaped like a wheel and is able to rotate to allow multiple functions: a bed, a desk with chair, a sofa and a multipurpose open space. There's also a window to allow natural light even when the space is closed off.

Components
The wheel is placed on two rotating cylinders that enable the rotation. A simple substructure enables replacement of the wheel to fit different personal needs and to give the apartment a more flexible lifecycle.
