FUTURE LIVING

TRENDFORECASTING & STYLING

This project is about the future of living. It is a trend forecast for the sub themes 'Circular perspective', 'Solo living' & 'Homeworking'.

The future of living is 'living alone together'. It tells the story of a apartment complex that consists of one-person apartments and also offers a working space. This gives the opportunity to work from home, but still have social interaction with people who live in the same building. In this way, your neighbours become your colleagues, but with different jobs. It is in line with growing individualism, but works against loneliness. The whole building has a circular ecosystem to reconnect with nature and work with it, not against it.

The interior of the building is based on a grid system what makes it infinitely customizable. It is a very sustainable system because you can change it whenever you want without having to build a new wall. It is also a perfect material to let plants and flowers grow through to bring more nature inside, which has a lot of health benefits.
