The project's structural concept is derived from the idea of an independent foundation. Typically, each wall has its own foundation. However, RACK adopts a different approach by utilizing only one foundation per living unit, located in the middle of the building, which supports the entire structure. </div> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/S3204109050285510790783923714145/DANIEL-NITSCHE_FLEXIBILITY_06.jpg The House for two families is conceived as an adaptable system rather than a fixed composition. Individual units and spatial layers can be added, connected or transformed over time, while the structural framework remains unchanged. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Q3204264079729525529870361491553/DANIEL-NITSCHE_FLEXIBILITY_07-02.jpg A strong spatial order does not necessarily determine a final condition.
