The purpose of this study is to suggest the direction of development in living room design in future housing, called smart home in general. Recently, intelligent housing was built by several countries such as United States, U.K., France, and Japan and it was also developed by major construction companies in Korea. However, the design direction of living room space in intelligent housing is not clear or very banal since the prototype of smart home, constructed without specific direction, have caused to unreasonable economical investment, commercialization of intelligent system, and environmentally-unfriendly problems. Learning from these problems and focusing on the trend that home appliances will be integrated with space, it is important that the direction of development in living room design should be studied through various researches such as placelab at MIT Media Lab and Phillips Lab. In this research, three smart home prototype cases, built by major construction companies in Korea, are analyzed to find Korea-specific factors and the direction of development for future living room design will be suggested.
