The Individual household will represent almost 75% of the household increase in the Netherlands in the coming years. This lead to an increase in the sense of isolation among citizens of all ages. Therefore, there is the urge of housing, specifically designed for this target group, which avoid isolation and foster social interaction. Additionally, it should be clear that we have to move from the current linear economy to a circular one where resources are reused multiple times instead of wasted after the first use. By combining these social and technical challenges the project aims to answer the current need of housing for individuals inviting inhabitants to make full use of the shared spaces. Embracing the field of design for disassembly, the building also aims to be constantly able to adapt to the ever-changing needs of the society, avoiding wastefulness of resources while fostering their reuse.
