New Ideas for Small Spaces

Tomoyuki Utsumi of Milligram Architectural Studio in Tokyo presented his experience in creating homes in Japan:

"A house, he noted, is no longer exclusively a home: changes in the nature of work have created the need for houses to accommodate offices, while owner-occupiers of small-scale multi-family apartment buildings often have space requirements that change over time. Utsumi showed examples of the use of cloth to divide space, apartment buildings where a household can easily grow to absorb more units, and even a building where the entire interior structure was mobile."
