The project brief creating a mass housing for 3 categories of people that is class D & E which is up class, B and C which is middle class and A class is lower middle class. The requirements were based on minimum area standards set by the building by laws. These staff members of the airport Authority get transferred every 3 years, which means that the same home is occupied by number of families. After an extensive research, the concept of ”Grow House” GROW HOUSE: A small home with big ideas, Flexible home which can be converted on the basis of the requirement of the family. Minimum walls in the house, a closed loop of similar dimension spaces which enable a person the create more rooms or customize their own house.
