The microhome project is a contemporary design located in Sweden, intended to meet modern housing needs through a small and functional living space. The design emphasizes efficiency and adaptability, carefully integrating with the local environment. By maximizing natural light and airflow, the microhome creates a comfortable and livable atmosphere while showcasing a modern aesthetic.

Design Concept

The layout consists of three distinct levels: the roof level at +3.400, the first floor level at +2.100, and the ground level at +0.000. This vertical arrangement organizes interior spaces effectively, allowing occupants to connect with the landscape, enhancing both views and daylight access. The elevations, particularly the North and West facades, highlight visual symmetry, contributing to a consistent exterior appearance.

Structural Innovation

A key feature is the folding shell structure, which measures 1.88 m, 3.61 m, 0.46 m, and 2.30 m. This innovative shape provides flexibility for different spatial arrangements, addressing various living needs. The folding shell design not only adds a unique character but also suggests improved energy efficiency, as its form may help with thermal regulation and environmental performance.

Material Application

Fibre reinforced concrete is chosen for its versatility and lightweight nature. This material allows for thinner sections without compromising strength. By using custom molds in the casting process, the project achieves a specific architectural form that aligns with the vision of modern residential design.

Entrance Design

The entrance, which measures 1.50 m, serves as a welcoming point between the outside and the home’s interior. This thoughtful design enhances accessibility while reinforcing the connection with the surrounding environment. Such attention to detail shows a commitment to creating a user-friendly living space that focuses on comfort and practicality.
