| Summary: | Combinatorial is another sub-topic and sub ordinate of Golden Mean theory. This paper is part of on-going research of modular construction system (MCS) in Malaysia. Objectives of the research were to propose an appropriate scheme and concept for sustainable design for modular home based on research findings.The researcher conducted case study (Personnel Expert Interviews) to collect data of MCS in Malaysia. Proposed combinatorial design for spatial planning of home design has been carried out by the researcher at the end of analysis as design experimental yet need validation from computer science experts. Combinatorial in modular architecture is the theory of conceptual design for future building design process of MCS. The researcher discuss in details and to clarify the proportion combinatorial for MCS in aspect of building forms and arrangements through proposed combinatorial formula. In Malaysia, design technique should relate to local culture, weather, and available materials sources as mentioned by the experts. Combinatorial design of modular architecture is an alternative design for compact affordable home. This combinatorial geometry (3D module) repeated, duplicate and can be oriented in a few ways to forming combinatorial models of building design. Pattern A and B are considered to be the best in economic aspects and practicality in term of shape of green. Proposed concept possibly can improve user decision making (digital design process) e.g. building players to plan their building lifecycle projects in term of economical design, green shape, reduced construction time and cost. Thus, it may be able to promote user friendly design, fast track construction, and quality based product, less wastage and varied of design selection can be chosen of the user. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
