A new address.
Still your story.
We believe moving home should carry your life forward — the familiar pieces, the everyday rituals, the things that make a place yours.

Good things deserve
a next chapter.
A move brings a thousand small decisions. Will the sofa fit? Where will we work? Do we really need to buy everything again?
ReNest is a moving and spatial-planning concept created for the Sustainable Northern Metropolis challenge, with a focus on people settling into new homes in northern Hong Kong. We bring the home you know and the home ahead into one visual experience, helping you explore how familiar furniture can support a different way of living.
A sustainable new town
starts at home.
Our contribution to the Northern Metropolis begins with the move itself. We want to help residents bring useful furniture into their next home, make compact spaces work for different households, and avoid unnecessary replacement.
We connect the challenge’s housing, waste and community themes through everyday decisions: what to keep, how to make it fit, and what could find another home.

Our goals
Less starting over. More room for what matters.
02
Make small spaces feel full of possibility.
Design around everyday routines, from focused work to dinner with friends. Explore flexible furniture and spaces that can do more than one thing.
03
Make the next move easier to imagine.
Help new residents feel at home sooner with a clear visual plan before moving. Longer term, we want to connect pieces that no longer fit with people in the community who can use them.
OUR VISION FOR GENERATIVE AIStart with how you live.
Start with how you live.
See what could change.
Our ambition is to translate everyday wishes into spatial possibilities: understand what matters, propose arrangements, explain the trade-offs, and refine the plan with you.
Where we are today
Explore the design preview ReNest is a hackathon prototype. Scanning and AI-style generation are simulated with supplied 3D models and three curated layouts. Furniture selection changes the displayed arrangements; live scanning and generative planning are future goals.
