The compact space is divided into 4 equally sized areas: bedroom, living /workspace, kitchen, and bathroom.

Despite the spatial constraints bathroom and kitchen are fully equipped and include modern conveniences such as a dishwasher and a washing machine.

To make the most of the space available a desk including a foldaway screen can be pulled out from underneath the bed.

The living module is complemented by a terrace module of equal size facing a beautiful treeline to the north.
