How do we deal with all the complexity we are living in, what tasks in particular are we going to perform in order to get there…

…by what means, environment and prospects?

Major steps ahead are driven by curiosity – the desire to find out. Each sight reveals horizons, opens up opportunities, outlines challenges and defines values. We should dare to learn in order to create.

We want solutions to become unique and simple – and they do, as soon as the harmonic complexity of outside influences is managed and the effects are diligently re-distributed. Approaching this interconnectivity takes efforts, but it’s worth it.

Perfection is demanded, following the previous one for the sake of triggering the next – constantly perfected by an evolving environment – so, evolving solutions are pursued.

 

Dealing with all that challenges, we developed methods that provide a systematic approach toward the accomplishment of the desired goals.

Curiosity

What is given? What potentials are out there? What is at our disposal? Some answers seem to be obvious, but understanding tends to grow with the re-observation of the site. Further discovered coherences sharpen the senses.  Switching the perspective sets up new objectives. This new objectives trigger the development of new solutions for the achievement of new goals. The following samples either support such research or are its result.

tswm – expanding horizons

A ultra light module, designed for extending temporarily small apartments.

For many people, it is common be visited by friends and family for a few days or weeks. If you live in a small, one room apartment, this situation can become something of a challenge and even a nuisance. You can find yourself reshuffling your furniture and spending your time seeking new arrangements in order to make space for a mattress, which will cover the last available square meter, eliminating any hope of walking around comfortably.

This project proposes a new idea for expanding your small apartment.

An ultra-light module, designed with a reinforced plastic frame and inflatable walls, can be fixed on the ceiling structure of the existing building using a membrane. It looks like a self-grown, organic structure that has been docked onto a building.

An ultra-light module, designed with a reinforced plastic frame and inflatable walls, can be fixed on the ceiling structure of the existing building using a membrane. It looks like a self-grown, organic structure that has been docked onto a building.

The new modular space is accessible through the windows of the adjacent apartment, which enables a large amount of small apartments to be extended this way, providing more space for the inhabitants. This space can be used as a guest room for a short period, providing an original and without doubt exciting private space for the visitors. The units can be attached to different buildings across the city and used in a multitude of different ways.

The modules would be available to rent on different internet platforms, making the whole experience much easier and user-friendlier.
