This study employed a case study method involving 18 respondents through purposive sampling. Findings revealed that the original house design does not consider several spatial needs and living traditions. The result established that these shortcomings were the main factors affecting housing modifications.

Visual stimuli along with self-report questionnaires are used to test the perceptual response of both children and guardians on the aspects of attractiveness, safety, value and taste. The study found a number of contradictions on preferences between children and parents which demands design rethinking. Keywords: children’ visual perception, package design © 2017. The Authors.
