Tiny living spaces have always been of interest to me. It always astounds me how a well-designed small space can still offer comfort to the user. There is one project that is an excellent example of the quality of small homes. The Micro Compact Home (m-ch) designed by Richard Horden. This project has introduced me to well-designed tiny homes.
The project led by Architect Richard Horden was a collaboration between student teams at the Technical University, TIT Tokyo, and Haak and Hopfner Architects. The team designed in 2005 for short stay accommodation for students and business use.
With a size of 2.66 m x 2.66 m x 2.66 m, this house has a footprint of 7 sqm. Despite the small area, the house offers all the basic amenities in the house. This compact home puts all these areas in a very small footprint. The inside is sleek and stylish. M-CH uses ingenious solutions to overcome the space constraint. The designer has overlapped spaces with different functions.
The house has a toilet and a shower, which also serves as an entrance and access to the house. It has a living/dining area that can accommodate up to five people. There's a flat-screen TV in the living/dining area. The living/dining area converts into two compact beds. One of the beds is slides out while the other is folds out. The use of movable furniture, which tucks out when not in use, optimizes the use of space.
There is plenty of storage space for clothes, bedding, and cleaning equipment. The kitchen has a double hob, a sink, and an extendible tap. There are microwave, refrigerator and freezer units, three compartment waste units. Ample storage shelves, cutlery drawers, and double-level work surfaces.
This project has had a significant impact on me. It opened up horizons on how to handle small spaces. It showed me how to handle small spaces. This small box had a few solutions out of the box. This project brought a new level of what you can do with a small space. The ideas I've learned from this project have been invaluable in my practice.
Small living spaces are not for everyone. M-CH is a great choice for people who rarely stay at home. You can use and adapt the concept of this project for other applications. You can create a cheaper alternative to shelter after a natural disaster. You can build decent, affordable shelters for homeless or informal settlers.
