From the inside out

Abstract: I began my thesis with compact living as my starting point. I researched the way we live in cities today and learnt that 57% of Stockholm’s inhabitants live in a two bedroom and kitchen apartment or smaller. My aim is to create furniture modules that can enhance small apartments. I created three modules that incorporate all essential items of furniture; these modules can be adapted for any apartment. In order to show how the modules can be used I picked a small site in central Stockholm and allowed the house to be shaped by the apartments, the apartments are in turn shaped by the furniture.
