Adaptable Homes is a research project by Fragile and Knauf in collaboration with FRAME magazine. It aims to collect insights on how our homes can become adaptable to changing needs and lifestyles
We were tasked to translate this idea of the home as a flexible framework into an engaging, easy-to-use web experience that invites visitors to co-shape a new generation of homes that grow and evolve with them
Wanting to reflect the endless possibilities of an adaptable home, we take the user on an interactive journey that explores different living constellations and stories around our individual needs
The chapter overview screen functions as the home from where the user can freely navigate themselves through the survey
The research is conducted in a non-linear manner that allows users to jump in and out of chapters, making the experience feel lighter and less exhausting
We worked with illustrators Daniel Triendl and Birgit Palma to bring to life scenes that showcase the range of how our homes are used and their need to adapt
Through the use of subtle animations we’ve created a feeling of modularity and progress that implies that the website is never static but always in motion - being co-shaped by residents from around the world
