In this paper, the authors referred to the development of the suitable modification technology of architectural space in alignment with change in circumstance surrounding lifestyle of residents as necessary. A design method of architectural space and building elements, and a handling method of structural objects of having used robotic technology are proposed as a proposal of adaptability of building. The development and design of a Floor Adaptable System (FAS), which can modify architectural space by moving up and down of floor units, was performed. The Floor Adaptable System installation and test operation was done in WABOT-HOUSE, and showed the operation process. According to the result, the authors confirmed the possibility of the Floor Adaptable System with hydraulic jacks, and mentioned the factors necessary to develop for further practical use.
