The Mimosa House
G5 aims at defining and modelling the core of the Multimod appartment around activities and formalizing these activities into a spatial core of the apartment, a spatial DNA of the house.
A relationship between the client and the developer has to be created. This relationship should be more personal in the sense that the user would keep in contact with the designer/developer throughout the use of the apartment, the way one does keep in touch with a legal representative firm, for instance.
The user should be able to develop a strong sense of ownership over the finalized product and during the design phase. This sense of ownership will be modelled around the valuable parameters that make up a living space. This includes material qualities, spatial considerations and personal user-data embedded in the design itself.
We see the design as a body capable of change, but change should manage needs. Change should operate at different speeds.
One speed of change should allow users/owners to make significant changes to the habitat. This will be achieved through interaction and kinetic solutions integrated in the designed components.
A different speed of change must be connected to the life-span of the appartment as habitat. This should be learned by the multimodal appartment's operating system.
The brief will be formalized by means of custom-built software applications accounting for immediate translation of user-profile scenarios and specific user needs, into relevant spatial setups.

Component
G5 aims to explore, develop, optimise and successfully employ kinetic solutions during the design within Multimod. This is primarily a means of facilitating adaptability. Our system should naturally provide deployability, connectivity. Above all, it should accomodate and respond to changing needs.
