Contemporary Western housing models remain fixed in post-war typologies, designed for the traditional nuclear family.
Yet ways of living have profoundly evolved: blended families, chosen cohabitation, involuntary solitude, ageing in place.
Demain emerges from this observation. When a space cannot evolve, it is the inhabitant who leaves, weakening social anchors, neighbourhood ties, and references built over time.
Rehabilitating the Marbrerie 13 building in Carouge means embedding an architectural response within the PAV, a territory in transformation, confronted with densification and generational mixity.
The program: 1 to 2 modular dwellings, articulated around two large sliding doors within a grid of 12 modules, adaptable to each inhabitant’s needs.
Not an addition of functions, but a structure designed to endure through life changes and evolutions.
A dwelling that adapts, not the other way around.
