As the nuclear family structure is brought into question, and the assumption that family structures only increase has been disproved time and again, the housing market has remained stagnant throughout time. To counteract this need for new spaces, DIY culture has gained popularity with homeowners who have started retrofitting their spaces into home offices, studios, and Airbnbs as their family structures changed with time.

Pocket House reimagines the forms of collective living through modular designs that expand and retract through mechanical automations that transform spaces to accommodate changes in family size, seasons, rental types, and other unexpected changes.
