. In the concept of dwelling, people in our culture assume a number of stereotypes concerning how a home should look like, how wide it should be and how long it should accomodate its dwellers, in a trial to challenge these ideas, myself and my life partner decided to start our married lif in a twenty eight meter square home, by designing all the needed functions in a retravtable manner, the same space would transform into a bedroom or a dining room or even a reception without the need for extra space.

The Aim is to create varient places in one confined space
