Design Solution and Diagrams

- House sizes in America are increasingly getting bigger while family sizes are decreasing - Roughly 50% of the US population who is 18 and older lives on their own, yet a majority of housing in America is multiple bedrooms - Wall in America tend to just be plane walls, instead of becoming so much more

We designed a modular wall system that was intended to move across a small compact room in order to create different spaces. The spaces it creates depends on its position in the room and what functions are in use at the time.

Total of 98 Square Feet interior dimensions

Design Objectives - To design a modular wall system that is intended to be in a micro unit - For the modular wall system to adapt to multiple different room types according to the users needs - To create as much storage as possible in a relatively small space - For the wall to help the space be flexible in both function and form - To design a space that goes well beyond just a live/work/sleep space - To create a space that is comfortable for the user to be in while still remaining small
