Home is a complex and multifaceted concept that holds significant importance on both individual and societal levels. Despite its rich and diverse nature, the definition of a home is often limited to the domestic scale of an apartment or house, disregarding the importance of creating a home-connection to a larger urban site and shifting the attention away from public and communal spaces.This thesis project seeks to explore and map what constitutes a home on both domestic and urban scales, with a focus on the Lövholmen area in Southern Stockholm, which is currently undergoing urban redevelopment to become a residential neighbourhood.While the current urban plan for Lövholmen follows a generic approach, “Homescape” proposes an alternative urban design that enhances space and creates a home on an urban level. By interconnecting domestic and urban spaces, the aim is to create a home beyond the traditional boundaries of private residence. By building on the richness of the concept and practice of home, this project offers a critique of generalised urban development projects, and expands the notion of home to include the wider cityscape.
