Abstract
Throughout the development of homes within Hawaii, there has been a struggle to manage spacing within the family structure changing overtime creating a series of overcrowding and neglect of spaces. Modular architecture as such is one solution to help solve the issue of housing in Hawaii, however, the development of these current modular homes focuses on units of specific numbers such as the nuclear family rather than on how each home could adapt. Modular design has the potential to allow adaptability and flexibility through residential buildings but is used as a matter of form which does not address to help the extension of families. This design research focuses on the development on a single-family home prototype using a different term of modular design based on a main system through the support of sub-systems. In this case, an innovative modular design system with the functionalities of spaces being able to change over time in response to a family life cycle going through different stages. The design format will be using transformable methods in order to allow adaptability to comply within modular design. The development of these design guidelines can also be a reference point for any future architecture projects that focus on the development of residential buildings through the use of innovative modular architecture.
