living space should be adaptive to changing needs such as expanding families, tendency to migrate and changing work

Flexible dwelling are homes that allow for adaptation based upon changes in the user’s routine. Flexibility in
dwelling can enhance connection to a place and community, and readily support changes in individual everyday life and
life cycle. Multi-family homes today are generally designed to be a compilation of similar units. These type of dwelling

The people who are economically weaker are the key members of the high income group peoples. They are both
depended on each other. Government is providing housing to economically weaker sections but most of the hosing
scheme is empty or the owners provide their unit on rent. The main reason behind it is that they are capable of buying a
single unit but what in future when their family is going to expand at that time they will not be able to buy a new unit.
So by providing them with the unit which can be adaptable to their need and can be incremental by the time, this will
solve their housing problem.
