quote In the future, I am convinced that there will be more flexible solutions that respond to how families look and work today. We want to be able to offer good housing to all; it will be exciting to see how the apartment works in reality. Mats Persson, Project Manager, Stångåstaden

Free to imagine

In-depth analysis of the needs of different user groups was conducted. This data was refined through workshops with selected end-users group and the Stångåstaden. As the end-users had no direct link to the project, they were free to imagine and relay their wishes for their dream home. A working pilot of Drömlägenheten was successfully tested and was the most visited display at the 2017 community building exposition, Bomässan i Linköping – Vallastaden.

The first Drömlägenheten dwelling is being built within a six-storey Stångåstaden development in Vallastaden. As the apartment is part of a newly built house, the adaptations have been simple. Ceiling height and floor depth make room for the customisable parts of the apartment. They have been designed with ease of use in mind, so residents can change the layout according to their needs.
