Concept Model of Home

Home is about branching out and taking your own path in life. The paths may twist and turn but you always have home to go back to. To represent this I used one piece of chipboard and cut it into slits and bent and curved the strips to form a shape. The paths come from one place just like a person comes from one home but can end up in a completely different location. 

Multi-generational Living Case Study

I focused on the growth and expansion of multi-generational living. By focusing on monolithic dome residences I discovered reasons behind multi-generational homes. The Yuma Dome, in Yuma, Arizona is a dome structure that serves four generations of a family simultaneously. It's 11,000 sq ft of living space provides cost-effective and energy efficient space. There are eight suites total in this specific home. The family living here worked together on the Yuma Dome and have successfully and comfortably lived together. Multi-generational living is becoming more and more popular; especially due to the economic crisis that has surrounded our generation.
