70 cm wide by 100 cm long. A height of 2 meters and a weight of only 40 kg. A house with a sliding window and a lockable door. A house with a mattress to sleep on. A house with a hob on the outside wall, so you can have a comfortable barbecue in the summer. A house with a chair and a desk for the laptop. A house with wheels, so being able to move it and put it wherever you need.
To put it briefly, it is One Sqm House, the smallest house in the world, able to provide maximum freedom in a minimum space of just 1 square meter. This is the unusual and innovative project created by the architect Van Bo Le-Mentzel, in collaboration with BMW Guggenheim Lab. The perfect solution for adventurers, artists or students.
One Sqm House is very adaptable. It can be placed on a flat surface for sleeping, or placed upright to function as a kind of mobile miniature shop or meeting place. And since it has wheels, that's always possible roll away to some other place. The structure emerges from the desire of its creator general to have at least one square meter of space in the whole world that was his, and only him.
It is, in fact, a place where "no one else but me can decide what happens with this my square meter of world. It is the only square meter in the world where every day I can decide in which direction to put the window, in which direction the door, which neighbors to have, which panorama to see. And so on, ”explains Van Bo Le-Mentzel, who started thinking about the project while fled from Laos. After the Berlin experiment, the project of the one-square-meter houses will be carried around the world.
For now, through Air BnB, its little houses, made of waterproof wood and plexiglass e easy to assemble, are rented to students and adventurous travelers at the cost of just 1 Euro per night, which also includes theAccess to Eastseven Hostel's kitchen, bathrooms and Wi-Fi, a small independent, very welcoming and well maintained hostel located in the center of Berlin, close to the hip-alternative district of Prenzlauer Berg. Very little to sleep in the German capital. And to take advantage of a square meter in which to take refuge anytime and anywhere.
