Abstract
Architectural spaces with the capability of spatial organization and internal transformations can respond to a greater number of their users' needs at different times and thus provide more desirable performance than single-functional spaces. The necessity to access this ability is one of the subcategories of flexibility in housing as a contemplative subject. The purpose of this research is to provide an analytical model in relation to developing the means-end chain model and using its indicators to identify flexible house attributes perceived by users. Users of residential complexes in Tehran city are evaluated as a research society. The research method in the present study will be of mixed type and its performance method will be based on the survey. The results show that the spatial organization in residential complexes in Tehran city is based on the flexibility of the kitchen, living, dining, catering, and bedroom spaces. Accordingly, the most flexible features take place between them, which has led to the increased flexibility of spaces in relation to various activities. However, other spaces are just a place to do a specific activity, which confirms the reduction of their flexibility. Keywords: Flexible house, users' needs, architectural spaces.
