Microhousing is a concept that is adapts the spatial and social dynamics of traditional communities and re-imagines them to create modern urban villages. It embraces simplicity and connection to place and community. As people seek to live more simple purposeful lives microhousing has been enjoying a resurgence in popularity.
Comfortably accommodating all of the functions and activities in a tiny house requires thoughtful design. The multiple domestic and social demands of living require the small spaces to be flexible and adaptable. For example, a single room may need to be, at one time, a dining room and, at another, a bedroom. Because the interior spaces are small natural lighting and the visual continuity to the outside is vitally important. Careful placement of windows, doors, and wall openings brings the outside in and makes the interior seem more spacious. In a sense, the exterior spaces become an important as the interior layout itself. The careful balance between the two is the hallmark of a vibrant community. Our design team is at the forefront of innovating concepts within this spatial and social framework.
