Tiny Interiors: Compact Living Spaces

How Living Spaces Reduced to the Max Can Maximize the Quality of Life

The desire for as much space as possible on as little room as necessary is neither automatically connected to an alternative lifestyle nor is it a protest against our luxury-oriented society. Sometimes it simply makes life easier, more comfortable, and more economical. The Tiny House Movement lifestyle trend, which began in the United States, has spread throughout the entire world, intensified by the construction and financial crisis.

This title presents contemporary projects from around the world that take on the simple yet challenging task to develop enthralling room concepts and spatial solutions for the efficient use of the smallest living spaces. The furnishings need to be carefully designed and compact to make the most of the available space, such as a bench that can be converted into a bed. These mini interiors investigate the possibility of providing a better setting for everyday living based on what is necessary, what is desired, and what is possible.
