Abstract AR

Despite the efforts exerted to address the housing problem in Egypt, the problem still exists, both quantitatively and qualitatively, represented in the incompatibility of most of the presented models with the user's needs, especially over time.

In order to deal with the qualitative part of the problem, the study tackled the possibility of achieving the housing compatibility with the user's needs through the concept of multifunctional space and flexible housing.

In order for the study to achieve its goals, the multifunctional space, its criteria and methods to achieve it were initially identified, followed by identifying the flexibility strategy and how to use it to achieve the multifunctional space.

To learn more about how to achieve the housing compatibility with the user's needs, through the concept of multifunctional space and flexible housing, a model was built for evaluating the residential unit based on the actual uses of the dwellers and the standards of the building law in Egypt.

Consequently, the model was applied and used to compare housing models in the case of using traditional design methods (the current design of the residential unit) and in the case of using the proposed concept, and it was also applied to one of the housing models provided by the government in Haram City.

The study's conclusion confirmed the viability of the use of multifunctional space concept and flexible housing in achieving compatibility between the residential unit and the user, especially in small residential units.
