MICROHOME
The microhome competition was a chance to push spatial dynamics and experiment with the living areas of a home, the maximum footprint was to be 25m2 with living space inside for two people and room to host guests.
​
Situated on Lake Braies in the Dolomites Mountain Range in Italy, the microhome has outside space with amazing views over the lake and mountains. Creating an inside-outside living space opens the living area up to the lake and creates a larger area to host and relax.
Developing ideas through materiality and sectional studies to show the habitability of the space and its connection to the surroundings. the materials set the microhome in amongst the natural surroundings of the forests and mountains.
Each window is positioned to direct light towards a certain point inside or to frame a view outside.
The floorplan shows the tight layout of the space and how every aspect of the living area is fitted comfortably within the microhome.
There is living space for two and enough room to socialise, every aspect of the microhome is usable space, with storage and seating arranged to be subtle within the home. The mezzanine level of the bedroom area creates a private realm within the microhome.
