“…This approach provides residents with the flexibility to gradually develop their homes, recognizing the evolving nature of their requirements. Various approaches, such as incremental housing, core housing, open building, support, and infill, are employed to ensure adaptability and functionality which are able to stand the test of time [23,[41][42][43][44][45]. Additionally, the concept of adaptability is being explored in risk-prone areas, with a focus on building temporary and half-built homes that provide safety and a path to permanent residency [46][47][48].…”

“…Even though esthetic appeal extends beyond physical and material aspects to include culture, social relations, and individual expression [2,49], it is frequently given a lower priority to the debates on durability and functionality. If esthetics are taken into account, the focus typically lies in customizing provided units, allowing for minor modifications such as colors, ornaments, or external elevations [41].…”

“…These changes are mostly related to the layer of skin. They express themselves through the choice of various elements, such as details and emblems, as well as the selection of materials for the exterior, such as tiles or cladding (Figure 11A-C) [41,49]. Architects usually leave this aspect to the users as preferences can change quickly [71].…”

The urgency of addressing housing challenges in low-income areas is increasing due to widening socio-economic inequalities and the worsening impact of natural disasters. Saint Martin, a small Caribbean island, is struggling to provide affordable housing amidst hurricanes, floods, and heat waves. As a result, there has been a rise in self-organized housing units, which are built incrementally and are susceptible to risks. The main challenge is to balance durability, functionality, and esthetic appeal over time. Inspired by St. Martin’s self-organized units, this article explores housing considerations in low-income, hazard-prone contexts by emphasizing their temporalities. Integrating insights from a formative study, including a literature review and ethnographic research, the paper draws on Stewart Brand’s “Layers of Change” and the concept of “Flow”. The study identifies layers within self-organized units corresponding to durability, functionality, and esthetic appeal. It delves into their connection with building activities over time, unveiling the temporalities of housing considerations. This exploration leads to the proposition of “Designing for a Flow” as a novel design approach. Offering practical insights within a concise framework, the study provides nuanced perspectives on mitigating housing challenges in low-income and hazard-prone contexts.

“…The approach to building directs us to relationships as priorities that involves acknowledgement of human closeness. This manner overcomes organisational way of building that draws attention to professional know-how and hired labour for construction (Marinovic, 2020). The relational model of housing introduces inclusive construction process by involving family members, kin, and friends whose participation is of paramount importance.…”

La vivienda incremental, respaldada por fondos gubernamentales, significa una solución para los hogares de bajos ingresos, que les permite autogestionar el proceso de personalización de unidades sin terminar. Este artículo utiliza un análisis fenomenológico interpretativo para examinar la pertenencia de los hogares a su casa incremental. Su objetivo es argumentar que hay espacio para teorizar la vivienda incremental, lo que da una idea de la importancia de reunirse en un lugar, sin simplificar demasiado la diversidad de responsabilidades de construcción y vivienda de los residentes. El autor utiliza la idea de vivienda de Martin Heidegger para examinar la noción entrelazada de construir y habitar una casa incremental. La razón subyacente para utilizar el trabajo de Heidegger es su interpretación de una vivienda, que él ve como un proceso continuo de construcción de una casa. La hipótesis sostiene que, los esfuerzos de los hogares para completar la casa sin terminar, cultiva el sentido de reunión de los miembros de la familia, para aumentar su sentido de pertenencia al lugar. Esta pertenencia se entiende en relación con la rutina de los ocupantes, como la organización física y social del proceso de construcción, que trasciende el impedimento social presente en los barrios de bajos ingresos. L'habitatge incremental, recolzada per fons governamentals, significa una solució per a les llars de baixos ingressos, que els permet autogestionar el procés de personalització d'unitats sense acabar. Aquest article utilitza una anàlisi fenomenològic interpretatiu per examinar la pertinença de les llars a casa incremental. El seu objectiu és argumentar que hi ha espai per a teoritzar l'habitatge incremental, el que dóna una idea de la importància de reunir-se en un lloc, sense simplificar massa la diversitat de responsabilitats de construcció i habitatge dels residents. L'autor utilitza la idea d'habitatge de Martin Heidegger per examinar la noció entrellaçada de construir i habitar una casa incremental. La raó subjacent per utilitzar el treball de Heidegger és la seva interpretació d'un habitatge, que ell veu com un procés continu de construcció d'una casa. La hipòtesi sosté que, els esforços de les llars per completar la casa sense acabar, conrea el sentit de reunió dels membres de la família, per augmentar el seu sentit de pertinença a el lloc. Aquesta pertinença s'entén en relació amb la rutina dels ocupants, com l'organització física i social de l'procés de construcció, que transcendeix l'impediment social present als barris de baixos ingressos. Incremental housing, supported by governmental funding, signifies a solution for low-income households, allowing them to self-manage the process of customising unfinished units. This article uses interpretative phenomenological analysis to examine the households’ belonging to their incremental house. The aim is to argue that there is room for theorising incremental housing, which adds insight to the importance of gathering in a place without oversimplifying the diversity of building and living responsibilities held by the residents. The author uses Martin Heidegger’s idea of dwelling to examine the entwined notion of building and inhabiting an incremental house. The underlying reason behind using Heidegger’s work is his interpretation of a dwelling, which he sees as a continuing process of building a house. The hypothesis holds that households’ efforts to complete the unfinished house cultivates the sense of gathering family members for increasing their sense of belonging to the place. This belonging is understood in relationship with the occupants’ routine, such as the physical and social organisation of the building process, which transcends social hindrance present in low-income neighbourhoods.

“…First developed after the First World War, incremental housing was a response to the severe housing shortage in Europe (Marinovic, 2020). The gradual building process allows for "partial habitation of completed portions of a house under construction" (Mselle & Sanga, 2018), acknowledging cost savings through self-help building and minimum standards (Joon, Lim, Kim & Wang, 2019;UN-habitat, 2005;Bangdome-Dery, Eghan & Afram, 2014).…”

Affordable housing is becoming an increasing issue in New Zealand as current house prices are increasing expeditiously, severely affecting first home buyers with no pre-existing assets. The purpose of this paper is to rethink the way we inhabit homes by examining developing countries approaches of incremental and self-help construction to generate affordable solutions. Although successful incremental designs have been reached in a third world approach, little research shows how these ideas can benefit first home buyers in a first world context with aid from prefabrication. This paper investigates the specific context of New Zealand through a digital and physical experimental approach of design. The resulting design proposal develops expandable homes that allow inexperienced users access to engage in self-help building methods to achieve cost reductions. Design considerations are influenced by affordability, construction, and income to develop a preliminary understanding on how the combination of incremental and self-help techniques could prove an affordable platform for first home buyers. Analysis of the developed design highlights that a cost-effective outcome is not possible through standard forms of prefabrication. As the material and manufacturing processes chosen to allow engagement of inexperienced users was not cost-effective, additional research is found to be needed to generate an alternative solution.
