Institute of Housing Research

Projects and development

Our current work connects technical infrastructure, care concepts and models of domestic support.

Platform development

Habitat

An open-source backbone brings together home technology, transparent data models and participatory research.

Care concept

Time-limited housing after hospital or rehabilitation: rehearse everyday life and involve relatives.

Computational models

Describe care and support scenarios, make assumptions explicit and compare possible actions.

Measurement & study design

What observation is sufficient, how precise must it be, and when should it be reviewed?

Testable prototype

Design, test and locally analyse virtual walkthroughs.

Reflection & responsibility

Making dependencies, attributions and new obligations visible.
