University of Southern California M.ARCH: Fall 2022

 

The Multi-Functional Dwelling explores what it truly means to be alone with yourself. Alone time provides us with moments of relaxation, self-reflection and self-expression, with the space being one without judgment. Thus comes the source of inspiration of this space. The dwelling provides suggestions to the user on how to break up tyheir spaces, creating different levels and platforms, and causes them to think about what they prioritize in their lives. There is the pre-organization and suggestion of spaces, but each space's function is ultimately up to the user. 

​

Everyone's minimal dwelling looks different, whether its occupied with art, plants, or home workout equipment. These components are also customizable, with parts that extend and retract however the user sees fit. The retractable nature of these components allows one to personalize their space based on their needs. Large south-facing windows allow maximum sunlight into the space, bringing the calmness of nature into privacy, better-promoting wellness and mental clarity.
