20 Thesis topics related to Residential Design

A residence is one of the first projects any architecture student is asked to design as part of the curriculum , as a residence is one of the first examples of architecture we all see and so many of us are fortunate to live in. Residential projects may seem very easy to comprehend and design, but the various types of residences that are in use today and the different user groups they are targeted towards make it a vast topic, something that requires huge amounts of research to design. 

Choosing a residential project as a thesis topic in the final year of B.Arch. would be like coming full circle – applying all the knowledge you have gained in the last five years on the very first project typology you were taught to design.

So, here are 20 thesis topics related to residential typology that any architecture student can take up.

1. Mixed-Use Buildings | Residential Design

With the global pandemic forcing people to stay confined in their houses, the development of mixed-use buildings with residential, commercial and office spaces all in one place will help with similar circumstances in the future. A student would need to do extensive research on how to properly combine all different places and the purposes they serve to create a building that fulfils functionality and is also aesthetically pleasing. 

Mixed-use buildings as a thesis topic will help a student when they start working because of its huge potential as a future trend in architecture.

2. Vertical Housing

With the increasing population and declining availability of open land, vertical housing is one of the best solutions available to tackle the requirements of the current and future generations. Vertical housing is residential buildings where architects arrange spaces vertically instead of horizontally, to create more units in a smaller footprint. 

These buildings also contain community areas and green spaces interspersed with the residential units to encourage people to be more social and not stay confined in their high-rise apartments .  

Using this as a thesis topic will be extremely beneficial as there are high chances of designing similar projects when students start professionally practising after getting their degrees.

3. Community living | Residential Design

One of the first markers of human beings settling down and becoming civilized is when they started living in communities with individual houses and common spaces for gathering. Since then, human beings have always preferred to live in a society. 

Be it apartment complexes with high-rise buildings , or housing estates with horizontal, community living in urban areas are a topic that can be taken up as a thesis project related to residential use. Community living will help one understand how to design spaces that can be used by different people to live together in harmony.

4. Row Houses

Row houses are defined as a series of houses connected through common sidewalls. They are a great way to build individual houses in smaller areas and with lesser materials, making them cheaper. 

Row houses might already be in use in the  USA and European countries , but they have huge potential in third-world countries and in places like India where there is a space crunch issue, making them a good thesis topic under the residential typology.

5. Tiny Houses | Residential Design

These are houses that have a total area of less than 400 ft 2 or 37 m 2 and are a good alternative to traditional houses when the available open land is smaller than average. Tiny houses have a wide variety of design considerations and this leads to innovative spaces that are multifunctional and furniture that is multi-purpose. 

Compacting a whole house in an area that is less than 400 ft 2 is a challenge that will help thesis students in designing residential areas in the future, as the availability of free land is reducing every day.

6. Shipping Container Homes

20 ft or 40 ft steel containers that have been used to carry different types of goods in ships can be used as a readymade or prefabricated skeleton to build a house. These homes are a good way to re-purpose shipping containers that have been abandoned or thrown away and are easier and faster to build as the exterior structure is already available. 

The containers can be stacked vertically or horizontally to create everything from tiny houses to mansions. Shipping container homes are an intriguing and unique residential thesis topic for students.

Yurts are portable houses consisting of a latticework of wood or bamboo covered by a round tent and have been the traditional houses for many tribes in central Asia, especially in Mongolia. Yurts are a unique aspect of vernacular architecture that can be adapted in different climates around the world with the use of more modern materials like steel for the latticework and insulating fabrics for the tent. 

Yurts as a residential thesis topic will give students a different look in a sustainable and vernacular approach to designing. 

8. Earthships | Residential Design

Pioneered by architect Michael Reynolds, Earthships are a type of passive solar earth shelter that is built with both natural and up-cycled materials. These residential units are structures built on the principle that the six human needs of energy, garbage management, sewage treatment, shelter, clean water and food can be met through environmentally sustainable building design. 

Earthships are intended to be simple, “off-the-grid” homes with minimal dependence on fossil fuels and public utilities and can be constructed by people with little building knowledge. The scope of Earthships as self-sustainable and ecological single-family residences is huge and something that can be taken up by architecture students for their final year thesis.

9. Cob Houses

These are houses built of clay, sand and straw that are recyclable and non-polluting when demolished. Cob houses are inexpensive, energy-efficient houses suitable for hot climates that are also extremely durable and earthquake-resistant. 

Even though these types of houses have traditionally been user-built, an architect’s perspective will help in enhancing its ecological and sustainable features and lead to better planning and usability of spaces. Cob houses should be explored as a thesis topic in the residential typology.

10. Cave houses | Residential Design

Caves served as the very first human dwellings – they served as a shelter against natural calamities and wild animals. In recent years, cave dwellings have made a comeback, in the form of carving contemporary houses inside existing caves. These houses contain contemporary elements like doors and windows, modern electrical and bathroom fittings and also connections to public utilities and “off-the-grid” options for the same. 

Designing cave houses is a challenge because one has to carve out different rooms in accordance with the inside of the cave and major changes cannot be done to the structure of the cave. Cave houses provide the option to utilize existing natural shelter formations instead of disrupting green areas, and hence are a good residential topic for the thesis as they are becoming more popular.

Ipshita Seth has been in love with words for as long she can remember and now that she's studying Architecture, she's found a new love for writing about designing spaces, history of buildings, construction technologies and everything else that comes with them. She has joined RTF to give words to her dreams.

What Do You Need To Write a Great Interior Design Thesis?

If you are an interior design graduate student, you most likely have plans to further your studies in this field.  One of the best ways to do this is by writing a superb thesis for your graduate level. This will not only show the faculty about your seriousness in this profession but also prepare you for the tougher tasks ahead.  

Writing a thesis is not easy and before you get started, you need to identify and understand all the requirements. This article explores different things you need to write a superb interior design thesis including choosing the best topic, outlining your paper, reading sample papers from ThessisHelpers , among other things.

Read on and learn how you can ace your thesis project.

Start With The Project Requirements

It is true you have an idea of what to write about but this should wait first. The most important thing you need to write a great thesis is to understand the rules and guidelines. Every college has its unique writing philosophy and you need to follow the set requirements to avoid intermittent revisions. Discuss the project requirements with other students and seek clarification from your professor before you start writing.  

1. A Great Topic

Your thesis is only as great as the topic you choose. Many MA students rush to pick the topic while this task is the most important in the writing process. Now that you know the writing guidelines start brainstorming for project ideas from different sources including family and friends, your teachers, other students, online writing services among other sources.

Choose an interesting topic that will engross you during research and which readers will also enjoy. Don’t choose a very broad topic because you have neither the time nor the space to exhaust it all. Your topic should also benefit the interior design industry and the academic community.

2. Create A Writing Schedule

You have to reorganize your life when you start working on your thesis to avoid stress. You can do this by creating a writing schedule. Poor organization is one of the main causes of stress in college according to a survey by College Parents and to overcome the challenge; you have to plan your writing and other responsibilities.

3. Write Down Your Thesis Objectives

The rule of thumb in writing is always to have a goal when you start writing. If you have no idea what your thesis will achieve, there’s no need for writing it. Set clear objectives and goals for your paper as these will act as the yardsticks to guide you. If you write without any objectives, you will not only struggle during research but readers will get confused along the way and lose attention.

4. Set Your Thesis Within The Interior Design Context

If you want your thesis to have a great impact, then take time to observe the contemporary interior design world and write something that provides a solution or provokes new thinking in your chosen profession. For instance, you can talk about the impact of interior design on the environment or such a mind-provoking idea. Avoid academic topics that add no value to your profession.

You should consider using an essay writing professional to augment your thoughts. With these few ideas, you can write a great interior design thesis with an impact on the industry.

Thesis project: temple cowork & cafe.

January 28, 2016

Thesis Project: Temple Cowork & Cafe by Liz Rogers

Author: Liz Rogers

Class: ides 452 interior design synthesis iii, problem statement.

The Temple Building, located in North Lansing’s Old Town Neighborhood, will be renovated and transformed into a coworking office and café. This space will be conducive for holistic interaction between the workplace, the economy, the environment and the community. Culture will be supported throughout the office by creating an open, varied and interactive floor plan. Because the building has such a rich heritage, the historical integrity of the exterior will remain, and interior elements like the stained glass windows and wood-carved details will be revitalized with modern finishes. The overall redesign of the building will embrace sustainability, in the site redevelopment, the building’s structural changes and especially in the design details. The building is not currently ADA compliant, so efforts will be made to update the building to house integrated accessibility features that will allow users with all levels of accessibility to utilize the space easily. Because this space will be a modern workplace, technology will be highly prioritized throughout, and these elements will be balanced with soft, informal workspaces and many natural elements. Overall, the building will be designed with quality and invention in mind in order to promote the innovation and creativity of the users, while looking out for their well-being with the integration of important amenities throughout the space.

Coworking Design

Coworking design considerations revolve around the three C’s: Community, collaboration and concentration. This is largely accomplished by creating diverse spaces, with a variety of flexible furniture types: public, private, static, dynamic, sitting, standing, moving, etc. The Temple Coworking space provides amenities to support the three C’s, such as access to wi-fi and technology plugins, printing, writable surfaces on walls, tables, whiteboards, a fitness center and yoga room, lockable bike storage, unlimited coffee, free access to keynote sessions, classes, concerts and more.  

Conclusion and Summary

Based on thorough research of the Old Town community, the City of Lansing and current entrepreneurial co-working availability, the Temple Building will be an excellent location to be redesigned into a café and coworking space. The transformation of this building will attract locals and students to the Temple Café. Exposure to the café will encourage entrepreneurs, students and startups to become members of the coworking space furthermore contributing to the local economy, appreciating the building’s historic and environmental attributes, and engaging the Old Town community.

A problem statement is a concise description of the problem that also contains a vision and approaches for resolving the issue. It’s essentially a clear, succinct summary of the issues that need to be addressed, and it’s used to center and focus the team at the outset to keep them on track. Problem statements are succinct summaries of design issues. They are used by design teams to characterize present and ideal states, as well as to freely find user-centered solutions. Essentially, a problem statement provides a framework for any home design or renovation project.

A good interior design problem statement will guide you through the design process and clarify all you need to know. One of its purposes is to tell your client origin of your design. A problem statement might vary from one interior designer to another, but you can use our great templates listed above so that you wouldn’t have to burdened with making a statement from scratch. Other than that, you can follow these steps so that you can write one of your own:

Describe how you achieved your aim after stating the purpose of your design. Make a long list of descriptive sentences that convey the design’s goal, focus, and fundamental concept. It’s important to resist the urge to sell one’s self. It is not your intention to use your design idea statement as a sales pitch.

You may need to make changes to your design concept statement to meet your client’s requirements. Client feedback frequently has a substantial impact on the direction of a design and, consequently, the creation of your interior design problem statement. Follow your client’s demands and instructions to the letter if they have a specific vision in mind and want a detailed report of how it is being satisfied in the design idea.

An important tip is to not write your design concept statement in the first person. Your own preferences and wishes have no bearing on this paper. A design concept, vision, or solution should be about your client’s demands and the realization of their environment, not about you. You should make sure that you are able to explain the vision/concept understandably.

Avoid using flowery or ambiguous words such as  “beautiful” and “marvelous”; these terms are vague and inadequate to describe the appearance or atmosphere of an interior space. As much as possible, don’t use too many adjectives and be as specific as possible.

This statement not only gives potential customers a visual representation of your design ideas for the space they want to remodel or update, but it also allows you to convey your inspiration and vision in a way that sets you apart from other interior designers who are competing for the same clients.

In a nutshell, an interior design project is divided into phases that gradually define the distribution, parts, and finishes, which are then translated into a budget for the project’s development and manufacturing down to the last detail.

Interior design that is pleasing to the eye and soul is a joy to behold. It has the ability to instill confidence, empathy, pride, inventiveness, security, and vitality in others.

Overall, an interior design problem statement is necessary in order to to help the designer win client bids and guide them through each stage of the design process. Thus, it’s crucial to write it as concisely and strongly as much as we can.
