Conceived as a compact suite for short-term stays, the Micro-house project redefines the spatial potential of a 37 sqm apartment through a precise and deliberate design strategy.

At the core of the intervention is the removal of the original partition between the kitchen and bedroom—a radical yet essential gesture that dissolves conventional boundaries and gives rise to a fluid, continuous interior landscape. The result is an open-plan environment where flexibility becomes the primary architectural device.

Rather than relying on rigid separations, the space is articulated by a custom-designed, colored wooden volume that both divides and connects. This permeable element gently delineates the kitchen from the sleeping area while preserving visual continuity and allowing natural light to permeate the entire apartment.

The interior unfolds as a sequence of integrated functions: a dining table seamlessly embedded within a bookshelf partition, a fully equipped kitchen, a discreet smart-working station, a transformable sleeping area, and a compact bathroom incorporating laundry facilities. Each component is carefully calibrated to enhance spatial efficiency without compromising clarity or comfort.

Materiality plays a central role in defining the project’s identity. A textile door conceals the wardrobe niche—an adaptable modular system composed of shelves, drawers, and hanging elements. Its glossy, softly rippling light blue surface introduces a tactile and chromatic depth, establishing a subtle dialogue with the surrounding walls and reinforcing the project’s cohesive visual language.

In its restrained palette and measured interventions, the Micro-Home proposes a refined domestic environment where architecture, furniture, and color converge into a unified, flexible living system.
