Felipe Campolina‘s ECObitat is a modular housing system designed specifically to provide emergency or disaster relief housing. Easily transported and made of off-the-shelf materials, the one-bedroom home can be constructed easily and delivered to wherever it is needed.

We especially dig ECObitat’s modular living wall and green roof system that gives the prefab a lush, organic exterior. ECObitat is constructed using standard OSB sheets, and everything is scaled using 1.22 m x 2.44 m dimensions. A steel frame makes up the structure, while SIP panels are used for the walls and floor to define the rooms and provide support and insulation. The resulting modular system has dimensions of 2.44 m x 3.10 m x 12.20 — roughly the size of a standard 40′ shipping container. The bedroom sits at one end, the bathroom is in the middle, and the kitchen and living areas are at the far end. . + Felipe Campolina on Behance. Ideas for Making My "Spacebox" in Holland More Livable? Good Questions | Apartment Therapy San Francisco. Previous image Next image Q: I'm a San Franciscan, currently in exile this year, for a grad program in Holland. My student housing is a 16 square meter "spacebox," and I'm going a little insane trying to figure out how to make it liveable.I lived in a teeny studio in SF, and Apartment Therapy's site was *great* for making it feel big and airy.

As a student renter here, though, I'm not allowed to alter anything significantly: no nails/screws, no wallpaper, and not even things taped to the wall. Since I am also poor and can't afford the Ikea shopping spree of my dreams, my options are more or less limited to rearranging the existing furniture, which is alternately oversized (gigantic desk), and undersized (teensy twin bed). I had to move the bed, since the bathroom door was practically its headboard. I don't like where it is now (it'd be nice if it were wider and not on a bedstand) - or where anything is, really.

Hartelijk dank from rainy Utrecht! Sent by Sirian • Got a question? Design mobile de Paul Coudamy. Comme si c’était pour une compétition, les designers cherchent toujours à créer des constructions insolites dans un minimum d’espace, parfois même avec plusieurs meubles. Le Français Paul Coudamy est spécialiste dans les systèmes de stockage supercompacts, qu’il implante même dans des locaux « inconfortables ». Son nouveau projet, réalisé dans un appartement parisien de 23 m², se distingue par l’esprit d’invention, le soin permanent des détails et une extravagance particulière.

La partie centrale de l’appartement est un système mobile rouge éclatant. Il comprend un bureau, un lit et une penderie. Les étagères mobiles pour les livres – U-système mobile – découvre ou cache (au besoin) une partie de la pièce destinée au repos, ainsi qu’un espace de travail et une garde-robe. La couleur rouge dynamique et active, forme les reliefs dont les limites sont marquées par les murs blanc. www.paulcoudamy.com/en/
