The architect’s house, the home the architect builds for himself, is a tool more powerful than one would imagine at first. As being the client, as well as the designer, the architect has hardly any constraints during the design and construction process, besides his own wishes. He can use his own house for instance as a unique opportunity for a technological or architectural experiment and cultivate his sense of “entrepreneurial daring” to the fullest. The house can also become a manifest, a pilot project, a masterpiece or turning point in the architect his career. Thereby it represents the best possible business card within the profession.

We are currently working on an upload tool for the toolkit results.
As such, research on various architects' houses can be gathered in an online repository, which will be accessible for those registered for the use of the toolkit. Thereby, future research on architects' houses is facilitated, and knowledge transfer between various stakeholders is improved.
