Impact of glazed balcony design on daylight in Finnish apartments
Sustainable dwellings should prioritise designs that prevent early obsolescence by supporting occupant needs, their comfort and wellbeing. This includes the provision of good indoor environmental quality and adequate and usable private spaces, including balconies. Yet, visual comfort is still overlooked, specifically in Finland, with its added balcony glazing, its northern position and Nordic climate. This study examines how different glazed balc…
Working at home
During industrialisation, work and home were mentally and physically divided. Nevertheless, homes are important workspaces. However, contemporary homes are not designed to accommodate work, and the home as a space of work has received scant attention from architectural scholarly work. How homeworkers navigate the spatial constraints of contemporary homes and create their workspaces remains underexplored. This paper investigates the tactics indivi…
Spatial (in)justice shaping the home as a space of work
Drawing on an extensive literature review, this study examines how injustices manifest in space and the role of space in engendering injustices when associated with working at home. Findings illustrate, first, that by defining the home as a space of non-work positioned in the private sphere renders invisible work at home, the worker within, as well as the material and immaterial conditions under which they work. This invisibility conduces to inju…
Exploring diverse drivers behind hybrid heating solutions
How do individuals reflect on and relate to hybrid heating arrangements and the ‘stacking’ of heating modes in their home? Drawing on a set of oral histories (n = 110) collected in Finland, inhabitants’ long-standing engagement with versatile heating arrangements is explored. This is not a novel phenomenon but one that has evolved over time. The reasons and motivations for stacking of heating modes is situated in the themes of preparedness, therm…
The unfitness of dwellings
The boundaries of work and home are constantly evolving. Working from home challenges the prevailing understandings of what a home is supposed to be and do, and what work is. Currently, most research around working from home and architecture focuses on spatial and functional qualities of homes that facilitate work productivity, highlighting inhabitants’ struggle with integrating work in their homes. Instead of further identifying challenges, this…
Mapping Fall Risks in Home Environments
Finnish glazed balconies
Amidst sustainability challenges and in an increasingly urbanised context, housing design qualities are crucial to promote residents’ wellbeing. Despite the role balconies play in establishing connections with the surrounding environment and enhancing housing qualities, questions around how to design balconies that meet users’ needs remain under-characterised. An online survey and analysis of Finnish residents’ (n = 393) attitudes to and uses of …
Housing adaptability
Highlights The underlying issues of why housing adaptability is important today are introduced, together with the drivers and barriers to uptake. This editorial explains the different kinds of adaptability (environmental, spatial, social and multi-use(r)) and how they can be achieved. The themes and individual papers in this special issue are discussed, together with their individual, community and societal importance. The global pandemic highlig…
