Concept of Home

Write a description of the concept of home and how it relates to the way your design proposal responds to the brief. 

As explored through the texts, home is a multidimensional concept, and each individual has their own idea/view of what a home is.  Home is a place where one can relax, replenish and be ones true self.  The home is a reflection of the people that dwell within it.  My design will endeavor to bring to life certain aspects of the displaced dwellers life.  Whilst my main design concept is that of a flat pack, the components within the shelter will enable an extension of self for the dwellers.  

The interchangeable interior of the house will allow the dwellers to arrange the house accordingly to their needs, desires and preferences.  Also the pop-out panels on the wall modules allow for quick and easy removal/installation for walls and windows.  Like wise the main division between the public and private space, the shelving system allows for the dweller to create a wall of visual memories, in turn allowing them to customize and personalize their own shelter which will be their home for a minimum of six months.

Small aspects of my design including the inter-changeable beds allows for the separation or joining of beds depending on the user.  One of the many aspects that forms my design is objects with a multipurpose.  when the beds are detached they can be used as sofas in either the public or private part of the dwelling, depending on the users preference.
