Flexibility has become more important to people today than sheer size.
With the design for Van B UnStudio introduce new ways to make the footprint of an apartment more flexible — challenging old conventions of square footage and fixed footprints.
The architectural strategy was to devise as many different ways as possible to reconfigure an apartment. To achieve this, architects designed a ‘plugin-based’ system that allows homeowners to use the space in a 40m2 apartment almost as if it were a 60m2 loft.
This allows you to easily change the use of the same floor space in a matter of seconds, making it possible to transform a room from a generous office into a cozy living room, or a bedroom.
