SCROLL
CLIENT: MODHOME
INDUSTRY: HOME AUTOMATION
PROJECT: PRODUCT & IDENTITY DESIGN
Discovering how small-space living can push the bounds of accessibility.
Approach
From the start of this project, accessibility was a top priority for every decision the team faced. Extensive research into home automation technologies formed the framework for an application to be implemented in highly customizable modular homes.
Result
Modhome is a digital interface that allows users to program a variety of room configurations (bedroom, living room, office, etc.) within their modular home. A series of internet-connected mechanics are controlled specifically (folding down a bed) or through a series of actions (activating a living room layout by extending a coffee table, revealing a tv and turning on a light).
Automated and programmable configurations reduce physical exertion, cognitive load and time, making modular homes accessible to a wider audience. This provides maximized accommodation for disabled and elderly residents interested in smaller living.
The Brand
The team was tasked with developing an identity system that embodied both technology and accessibility. Using a stylized sans-serif typeface, the wordmark reflects these product philosophies. Through use of simplified color, soft gradients, large typography and bright imagery, the brand presents this cutting-edge technology in a friendly and inviting package.
