Abstract (Swedish)
The purpose of the project has been to investigate how people dwell and furnish
in recently build apartments. The project consists of a dwelling survey where
14 tenants in four different types of apartments, architects, realtors and an
availability expert are interviewed to give their view on how Swedish regulations
regarding housing corresponds to how people live, and want to live. The project
compares how the different apartments are furnished on the plans when handed

The purpose of the project has been to investigate how people dwell and furnish

regarding housing corresponds to how people live, and want to live. The project
compares how the different apartments are furnished on the plans when handed
in to the municipality for building permits, when sold to the customers and in
real life by the person who lives there. The project investigates if and how the
design of the apartment limits the choice of furniture, and how the regulations
architects follow affect the dweller’s choice of furtniture. The project also tries
to figure out how, in the future, architects can design to perhaps better meet
the dwellers’ needs and wishes. The project investigates both apartments which
the dwellers have bought and are renting and compare the two types from a
furnishing perspective.
The method that has been used is a qualitative method and the empirical material
has been gathered through semi structural interviews. The dwellers’ stories have
been summarized and sorted to each apartment type and thereafter discussed
together to try to answer the questions asked in the project.
The result of the project shows that there is a great difference between how
people furnish their apartments and think about furnishing and the regulations
which in great extent form contemporary apartments. (Less)
