SURVEY FINDINGS
To find out more about how people think about coliving, we conducted a survey among 50 people. Most of them have neutral responses towards the idea of co-living with other people. One of the major factor that affects their willingness to co-live is thier monthly income and their marital status. From the survey, singles with lower monthly income are more open to the idea of co-living as it helps to reduce financial burden. Young people are also more open to the idea of co-living as compared to the older. However, for those who are married and have kids, they are not as open towards the idea of co-living. They are worried that there won’t be enough space.

DESIGN INTENT The designer aims to break the traditional concept of a “room” by introducing mobile partitions and embedded furniture system into the space. This transformable apartment can house an entire family through various reconfigurations to suit different users’ needs. Through the smart partitioning and creative furniture design, the designer creates responsive spaces that are fun to inhabit.
34
THE FURNITURES Floor to ceiling storage systems that pivot on small wheels Furniture are only activated from the ďŹ&#x201A;at movable partitions if needed Furniture are kept back into the movable room partitions & pushed to a side to provide bigger space to hold gatherings Allows user to determine the amount of space they need for diďŹ&#x20AC;erent activities

THE CIRCULATION Circulation of the space changes when the mobile partitions walls are pushed into diďŹ&#x20AC;erent positions The 2 mobile partition walls allow the space in the middle of the apartment to transform From a living room and dining room into two bedrooms and a smaller living room There is a certain degree of privacy for the resting areas after moving the mobile partitions

MECHANISM & MATERIALS
Small wheels at base of mobile partition walls to facilitate the sliding movement Recessed tracks on ceiling to guide the sliding movement of the partitions Pivot at mobile partitionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; top to allow for 360 degrees orientation Constructed with light steel skeletons & panels of white coated wood so that it is lighter and easier to push and slide Linked with electrical lines and lighting systems in order to operate electronics and recessed lighting that are embedded within the partitions
41
PROS Spaces are optimised to suit different activities of users Spaces are multi-functional and multi-purpose Enhances family interaction and communication White walls and surfaces maximises natural light; allowing the whole space to feel very bright and spacious Open spaces allow natural light to flood in
CONS Limited choice for flooring finishes; wear and tear may occur from the frequent sliding movement of the mobile partition walls Mobile patitions may be heavy to activate for eldery and young children Frequent maintanence due to heavy usage causing wear and tear Limitation of privacy due to very open spaces and changing of spaces from private to public
42
TAKEAWAYS By having movable partitions with furniture embedded in them, the various spaces will only be activated when the users need to use them. This maximises the usages of spaces in the house. They do not have a fixed zone that they will always occupy thus, there won’t be a fixed relation between the different zones. This flexibility in space meets the occupants’ needs and activities. However, there has to be considerations made to privacy as well when placing the mobile partitions and the way they orientate to form private spaces.

DESIGN CONCEPT The design intent of the space is to blur the boundaries between spaces by not formalizing the functions and usages of the space. The same space can be used for diďŹ&#x20AC;erent functions and shared according to the usersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs.
