Home embodies experiences that are purely derived from the human imprint and desire of the inhabitants. Space and objects that triggers the associative quality generates a comfortable realm for the users, where they feel closer to home. A communal space that portrays such nature will be more grounded in the society. To appropriate the communal interactions with the associative nature of home is the outcome of thesis. On a communal scale the perception of immediate meaning of home changes. Home for many provides a better understanding, as a member for each other. The idea of Home for many offers a different perspective. Through balancing the parameters that triggers attachment with spaces with the communal nature of space, such space is desired that mutually embraces the users. Increased human imprint will allow the users to relate more to the space.
