A home includes the building and its operation.

The research direction

Project O explores modular smart homes as integrated product systems, connecting the building, its components and the model for supporting it over time.

Read the Project O research approach

What the inquiry must establish

The proposed approach examines how structure, components and intelligent systems could be designed together. Modularity raises questions about which parts can be standardized and which must respond to a particular site and household. Maintenance, replacement and future change are useful questions for the life of the housing system.

Research approach

What changes when a home is considered throughout its life?

Research visual showing people, interfaces, and connected systems

Examine repeatable parts, maintenance and change.

Project O explores modular smart homes as integrated product systems, connecting the building, its components and the model for supporting it over time.

Questions for the next stage

Can the system remain useful after delivery?

Research visual showing people, interfaces, and connected systems

Evaluate the specific question, record the conditions and report the limits alongside any finding. This is a proposed approach, not a completed study.

Research visual showing people, interfaces, and connected systems

Any conclusion should remain bounded by the method, conditions and evidence available.
