The proposed terrace house named CombiHOME is based on timber structure modules spanning 4m, 2.3m and 3.2m in width, which correspond respectively to household functions of day, service and night. In hope of corresponding to the modern ever-changing lifestyle, each module is designed to be capable of varying in length, according to needs and budgets of residents, and applying to conditions of site.
It manifests a concept that house can evolve with family members in an economic prefabricated way. One family could possibly start from a 2-bedroom unit, grow into a 3-bedroom one, and finally size down to a 1-bedroom studio, all these could be realized with module system. By defining desirable and reasonable dimensions, CombiHOME achieves its maximum flexibility through simple combination among different units.
