    Microliving – Big Opportunity for Small Spaces

    Where living spaces are shrinking, innovative room concepts are needed: Microliving is synonymous with an urban lifestyle and smart mini-apartments. Sliding solutions enable great comfort within a small living area.

    Small but diverse

    Swiss architects and room researchers from kollektivorort have devoted themselves to the subject of Microliving. In addition to historical and contextual classification they also examined the question of which structural/spatial means can help to give the “small ones” diversity. You can get a comprehensive overview of Microliving and discover the creative impulses in the White Paper entitled “Microliving – Small but diverse”.

    Discover the space miracle

    The number one trick to gain more space: replacing unwieldy hinged doors with elegant sliding doors. Our floorplan of a micro-apartment demonstrates how this works. Click here.

    Vistas in close quarters

    Saving space with sliding doors means planning rooms with care. Together with Nathalie Birkhäuser and Roman Venzin, first-prize winners of the Hawa Student Award 2020, we drew a sample floorplan that offers lots of flexible design options.
