Hacky, Micky, and Hacky homes have rooms with a multi-purpose character. The guest room also serves as a home office or a dining room is converted into a study room. However, these versatile rooms are soon in a state of disarray without the suitable storage. Renovation will also help restore balance through the introduction of storage facilities that do not interfere with flexibility to maintain order.
Murphy beds provide storage space and fold-down desks have storage spaces, which can be used as shelving; this way, spaces can be used to change roles without becoming disorganized. Storage partitions can be slid together and divided to create spaces with additional functionality. Walls may also serve two purposes; magnetic note boards, peg boards, or sunken shelves.
In Hacky houses which have irregular layout, multipurpose storage will see to it that each corner is able to sustain the changing needs of the home. The Micky house has small rooms which can perform three jobs hence the innovation of the renewal ensures the room does not become overly crowded so that the room becomes versatile and habitable.
Conclusion / Area of thought: When a room is being renovated into multipurpose rooms we learn that being flexible survives only when there is order in the room. An environment where roles change without becoming obscure is indicative of a more profound fact - flexibility and organization need to exist together. The question that should be asked is: will our homes bend without breaking when we design our homes to suit the changing lives? Storage is the support of such flexibility.
