House of Choice is a research project that explores the alternative options of spatial arrangement within a 150 sqft unit inside a youth hostel. Instead of designing several standardised spatial units, we look at the possibilities of offering modular spatial components for each unit, so its owner can create his preferred lifestyle freely through mixing and matching.

In our research report, we first categorised the targeted young end-users based on occupation, lifestyle habits and needs. Based on these pre-designated characters, we have created several modular combinations of spatial solutions to offer maximum flexibility and freedom for the young dwellers to choose their ways of living. We hope this research offers a glimpse of light to the common problem of spatial scarcity in Hong Kong.

區區150呎斗室﹐又可以做啲乜?地方淺窄是否等於居者沒有選擇的權利?”揀 ‧宅”一項以年青旅社設計為藍本的建築專題研究﹐旨在反思現今業界盛行的單一標準化設計流程。我們沒有設計一系列標準化的戶型,而是著眼為每個戶型提供模塊化組件的可能性,因此戶主能夠通過混合和匹配以創造他個人傾向的生活。

在我們的研究報告中,我們首先會根據各自的職業、生活習慣和需求來區分年輕對象。先後訪問了450名年青人,我們為他們創造多樣模塊組合提供靈活和自由最大化來使他們選擇自己的生活方式。我們希望這項研究能夠讓我們瞭解香港普遍存在的空間短缺問題。
