| room to growth a child's space in the 21st century home Living accommodation in the typical UK home is placing increasing emphasis on maximizing space usage which is witnessed by current trends to combine living and eating areas. However: the bedroom is, by definition, a cellular space where privacy is a main priority. This proposal is an exploration of new materials and new technology to make an ever changing room with enough flexibility to transform the surface-landscape through the different stages of the child's life. From infant to toddler at nursery school; the primary school years (where the child becomes territorial and requires less supervision); secondary school (where the child becomes increasingly independent and the room provides an individual environment for socializing and studying, typically using computer facilities); and continuing to the late-teenage years and early adulthood. The room consist in a kit of pieces that can be adding or subtracted as needed. The basic kit includes a pre-manufactured surface conforming a standard crib/bed/sitting bench, a ramp with a pre-wire workspace platform and one container that becomes storage-multimedia set or library. A series of addition will sold separately like a mechanic surface that works from playground to exercise area, depends of the way is assembly, as well as a virtual landscape wall, that will project real size images and natural scenarios. A complete bathroom, a self-illuminated chaise lounge cabin with plasma TV and video games as well as educative e-book screening.
