2023-2025 Milan, Italy
Adaptive housing
Milan is the pilot project inaugurating a new way of living at home. The format, developed by the company Condivivere.casa, envisages the creation of a building with collaborative-active spaces available to all residents, consisting of a coworking area for working at home without using one's own flat, a guest space for inviting friends home without using one's own home, a lockers space for parcel delivery, and adaptive flats that can be modified in size and use configuration without structural interventions and according to the evolution of living needs over time.
The adaptive flat is a unique flat that allows the differentiated and reconfigurable use of interior spaces thanks to the intelligent management of the flat's accesses (a main access and a service access). It consists of a home area consisting of a living area and master bedroom and two POD's (home stations) equivalent to individual rooms in the same flat.
Thanks to a patented internal window frame, it is therefore possible to reconfigure the interior space, allowing not only young growing families or decreasing senior families to progressively extend or reduce the space they need, but also to temporarily use the PODs for students and young professionals, or even carers who 'share' several rooms in the flat but always preserving a high level of privacy.
