These small prefabricated student housing units feature a lofted sleeping area up top, an open area for cooking, eating, relaxing and studying below, and a small bathroom with a door for privacy. These housing units provide nearly everything a student needs to live happily, albeit in a compact space. The concept of small living isn’t new, but it is constantly evolving. This entry by Tengbom and collaborators is a step in the right direction, and one that might even inspire more activity from Sweden’s own furniture giant Ikea. These compact living units can be a great option for more than just students, as they could be a great option for disaster relief, housing for the homeless or even a second vacation home for a city dweller who wants to stretch their legs. It’s a great idea, it simply needs to be explored further just like Tengbom did in this iteration.
