A home is the anchor point of your existence, it is the place where you live. It is also a sensation connected to a place, a dwelling or a personal object. Your perception of home could be scattered across the country or the world, it does not take into consideration the passing of time or distance. Your childhood home could be as real as your present address in your perception of your home. This is a project about the architecture of the architecture of domestic space. To understand the processes behind the design of a home. We live in a time when the market is led by profit, the Swedish standards become the architect and the minimum becomes the standard. The research is conducted through a set of interviews to define the subjective perception of home. The findings are implemented in the current building regulations in order to question the current market and whom we are building for. At this moment “Boverket” are reconsidering the current regulations, which is a possibility to do it better. It might be the perfect time to bring back the focus from the profit to the residents. To make the dwelling fulfill its original purpose, to be a home. Lifted projects or plans in this project is not a criticism against the architects behind them. They are examples of products produced by the market as a result of current rules and regulations.
