Introduction

Strategies

Platform

homeLUST as an innovative platform, providing a new multi-generational co-living mode between younger generations and the elderly.

Scanning

The design will start with lidar scanning old homes to collect data and patterns, and then apply them to the new home to create a familiar atmosphere.

Tile Translation

After scanning typical floor plans and façades throughout villages in the UK we identified the most prominent features.

Unit Translation

The voxelised housing portion was extracted out individually and processed with yolo to match with tiles in the tile library. To aggregate these tiles, we utilise the wave function collapse algorithm.

Building Generation

The edges of the units will be joined using the same colour. This will form the structure as a whole. As a result we could produce a large number of home-like buildings on a broader scale.

Structural Design Idea

The design idea of homeLUST is based on three main targets: flexible assembly, feature restoration and quick construction.

Simple and Quick Construction

Transformation from the Design

Transformation from the Design

Exterior

After gathering the necessary data, we intend to mimic the prior home's interior and external environments and integrate them into the homeLUST design concept. The visual simulation of the façade slowly changes over time as the homeowner changes.

Interior

In order to make each homeLUST unit distinctive, we allow seniors to select one or two interior walls or elevations that they find to be the most memorable. These walls or elevations are transferred to their new home as an accent wall.
