| dc.description.abstract | The sensory experience of architecture and its effects on the quality of life and well-being serves as background and inspiration for this thesis. In today’s fast-paced and often stressful society, there is a growing need for calm and peaceful environments that allow individuals to disconnect from distractions and connect with themselves. This thesis aims to research how to design architecture to create a home that addresses the resident’s needs and well-being rather than simply serving as a means of artistic expression. The research has used a combination of methods, including research by design, site explorations, and the study of reference projects and literature on topics such as atmosphere, phenomenology, and soft minimalism. This thesis follows guidelines and wishes, to some extent, from the clients – the three families who own the site today. The strategy for the design proposal has been to design a new flexible and adaptable home with two complementary buildings. The new home also has the potential to serve as a holiday home or a multi-generational home shared by different families. While following the guidelines and wishes of the clients, the main focus lies on the experience of architecture in a home environment, with a particular emphasis on closely studied architectural attributes, qualities, and junctions that contribute to a sense of calm and simplicity. Through the research, this thesis aims to contribute to the understanding of how to design architecture to provide residents with experiences of harmony to enhance their quality of life and well-being. By creating homes with calm and simple spaces, individuals may be better able to live in the present moment and find respite from the stresses and distractions of modern society. | |
