With designers failing to produce a solution for the demands of modernday flexible living; an alternative approach of introducing an enhanced level of flexibility in homes is needed. Inhabitants must be able to surround themselves with an adaptable environment, which can be reshaped and resized, to accommodate for inevitable, and disruptive moments of life.
