A living space is disclosed including one or more adjustable or reconfigurable rooms. A room may be made reconfigurable by including fixed walls and a frame that is mounted to move in a first direction between a first position coextensive with the fixed walls and a second position that is extended relative to the fixed walls. The room may further include panels mounted in the frame configured to move in a second direction, orthogonal to the first direction, to seal off a front of the room. In examples, the panels may store against the frame when not in use.

A dwelling for accommodating users, the dwelling including at least one dividing module provided with respect to a floor surface for separating the floor surface into at least two separate living spaces, the at least one dividing module being selectively adjustable in position with respect to the floor surface for providing the dwelling with selectively adjustable living spaces. The dwelling also includes a displacement assembly operatively connectable to the at least one dividing module for displacing said at least one dividing module about the floor surface. The dwelling also includes a controlling assembly operatively disposed between the at least one dividing module and the displacement assembly for allowing a user of the dwelling to selectively and adjustably position the at least one dividing module with respect to the floor surface of the dwelling, and in turn to selectively and adjustably vary a corresponding layout of the two separate living spaces delimited by the at least one dividing module, in response to a given input of the user and depending on a desired configuration by said user of the dwelling.

A roll-up wall system including a frame having a longitudinal axis, a first roller disposed in the frame, a second roller disposed in the frame, and a tube disposed in the frame. A screen may be connected to the tube. The screen may be supported by the first roller and the second roller. Further, the screen may be movable between a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the screen is rolled around the tube which is spaced a first distance from the first roller. In the second configuration, the screen forms a barrier adjacent the frame, and the tube is spaced a second distance from the first roller. The second distance may be less than the first distance. Also, the roll-up wall system may be an acoustic barrier which achieves a Sound Transmission Class rating ranging from approximately 31 STC to approximately 53 STC.

A movable partition system includes a movable partition, a floating jamb attached to an end of the movable partition and located within a pocket configured to retain the movable partition when in a retracted position, at least two base plates attached to the floating jamb, and at least two jamb stops attached to opposing interior walls of the pocket. Each of the at least two jamb stops are configured to engage a respective base plate of the floating jamb, wherein the floating jamb, the at least two base plates, and the at least two jamb stops are configured such that disengaging the floating jamb from a secure position within the pocket when the movable partition is in an extended position requires disengaging one of the at least two jamb stops from the respective base plate on each side of the movable partition. Methods of providing a security barrier are disclosed.

A veneer panel may include a face veneer, a first inner layer bonded to the face veneer, a second inner layer bonded to the first inner layer, and a thermally conductive backing layer bonded to the second inner layer. The first inner layer and the second inner layer are treated with a flame retardant. The first inner layer is disposed between the face veneer and the second inner layer, and the second inner layer is disposed between the first inner layer and the thermally conductive backing layer.

There is disclosed a relocatable internal wall panel, kit and system for a room having a floor and ceiling. The wall panel comprises a first wall portion and a second wall portion having opposed planar surfaces to define a void. The first wall portion is at least partly received within the void defined within the second wall portion in a retracted position and reversibly extendable therefrom such that in the extended position the upper edge of the first wall portion bears against the ceiling of the room.

A movable wall element for a building with a floor and a ceiling is disclosed, where the movable wall element comprises at least one lower roller device comprising a wheel element which is capable of engaging the floor of the building when the wall element is to be moved across the floor. The movable wall element further comprises at least one upper roller device comprising a wheel element which is capable of engaging the ceiling of the building when the wall element is to be moved across the floor.

The dwelling also includes a displacement assembly operatively connectable to the at least one dividing module for displacing said at least one dividing module about the floor surface. The dwelling also includes a controlling assembly operatively disposed between the at least one dividing module and the displacement assembly for allowing a user of the dwelling to selectively and adjustably position the at least one dividing module with respect to the floor surface of the dwelling, and in turn to selectively and adjustably vary a corresponding layout of the two separate living spaces delimited by the at least one dividing module, in response to a given input of the user and depending on a desired configuration by said user of the dwelling.

A demountable wall system includes a frame component that has a base. The demountable wall system also includes a biasing element and a cover that is removably coupled to the frame component. The cover includes a cover body and an engagement projection extending outwards from the cover body, and the biasing element is configured to bias the cover such that the engagement projection engages the frame component.
