When I started reserching for the Minima project I began with looking for how best to use the internal space while keeping it to a minimum. At first, conventional square and rectangle houses came to mind and I explored where they triumphed and failed within the minima concept.
From there I moved to looking at unconventional housing methods that displayed minima attribttes. This house was designed by Luigi Colani and contains a "six square meter cylinder that holds a bedroom, kitchen and bathroom".
A view of the kitchen in the cylinder. The whole operatin is remote controlled, all you have to do is choose which room you want to use. There is a spare toilet adjacent to the cylinder.
A view of the bathroom in the cylinder.
This is a definite improvement from the conventional style housing, making more use of a defined space. It is very imaginative, I guess thats what minima requires, imagination...
