Automated Home

Iva + Vanessa - SoSe 2020

The automation and the question of ownership of objects are able to redefine our future floor plans and contribute to the renegotiation of space.

Objects in an automated home can be separated into three categories: private, shared and wet shared. All private items serve the future tenant from the ceiling, all shared from the floor and all wet cells rotate around the building. This results in a furniture floor and a human floor, which can be programmed depending on the user’s needs. Hence, the space can be also used for any other purpose, when the tenant is not at home.

The more items are being shared, the higher is the possibility of a surprise, when a shared object is called. In addition, new temporary combinations are possible. Therefore, it is claimed that the future home should not only be about optimization through automation, but that automation is able to lead to more fun and a constant increasing home experience.
