Micro-Compact Home


The micro-compact house is a lightweight dwelling for one or two people for short-stay living; hence, it is ideal for business travelers' rooms, holiday lodges, or other short-term residential or academic uses.

The micro-compact cubes have been taken into use for many projects. One of the projects is a student village, with sponsorship from telecommunications company O2 Germany, is currently inhabited by the students of Technical University Munich in Germany.


The layout of the cubes is inspired by the traditional Japanese tea houses. What's so special about this compact house is its flexibility. For instance, the upper level sleeping bunk (for two) can be folded out of the way, while below, the sunken dinning area can also double as a second sleeping space (also for two) after putting away the table.
