Adaptable homes: housing for changing lives
What is this challenge about?
How can a home adapt to a growing household, ageing, working from home or changing mobility without expensive demolition each time? Explore flexible space, privacy, access and long-term maintenance. Proposals may address an existing dwelling or a new housing model, from adjustable partitions to a room with several uses. Choose a real life-change scenario and compare costs, adaptation time and residents’ experiences. Efficient use of space should also preserve comfort and personal privacy.
From observation to a proposal
Start with a real situation in your neighbourhood or daily journey. Describe who experiences the problem, how your proposal would help, and who needs to be involved in making it happen.
Understand the need
Where does it happen, and who is affected? Listen to the people involved.
Start small and clearly
Outline a small pilot with clear resources, partners and a timeframe.
Make the impact measurable
How will you know the experience has improved? Define a measure and a way to gather feedback.
