Adaptable House

Overhead Mobility Handhold System for Adaptable House

The Adaptable House Project seeks to answer problems of well-being and movement in the home of aging and physically challenged people. This student team will work to design and build a model living house for living life at maximum freedom. The living house would evolve with the special needs and unique challenges of each person. This student team will work to design a mobility system that would provide a user with multiple ways to move themselves through the house. The desired outcomes this student team will work to achieve are an aesthetically pleasing, inspiring, playful hanging system that supports the multiple use modes and is simple/easy to use. This student team will work to create a preliminary design and scaled prototyping of a system of hanging bars and track that enables a user to stretch, move forward, and hang as they move throughout the house.
