Abstract
We studied the transformation of housing units which have KEP (Kodan Experimental housing-Project) movable partitioning system, built in 1982. As children grew, almost 40% of the families moved and/or took away the KEP partitioning walls to make their living rooms larger. This paper suggests that the KEP movable partitioning system has been used properly by the residents to adapt the room arrangement to the changes of their life in these 23 years.
