abstract My project has been a reflection on; our consumer society, what a home is, and how we are supposed to live. It all started with an interest in flexible living, looking at buildings and the cities in a new way, and a new interpretation of the already built environment. My research question was “What do we really need?” and “ What is the minimum requirement for making a home?”. The project touches on the topics of housing, housing shortage mainly but also sustainability, minimalism, and reactivation of space. This manifested itself in the way that I designed a portable, flexible unit that is your interior space and that also cloud store one’s belongings. The unit was explored in a 1:1 scale model and drawings, exploring both design and different contexts such as; student rooms, small living for couples, and temporary living (mainly students and refugees in mind). I was inspired by Tokyo nomad woman, Shigeru Ban’s paper log house, and Ibiza instant city.
