compact living

Now, but also in the future, increasingly more houses will be occupied by smaller households. At the same time we see housing prices skyrocketing in bigger cities. 

Heren 5 architects is actively designing smaller houses, because living on less square meters means you can keep living in popular places for a reasonable price.

Compact living, but comfortable. For instance by sharing certain facilities with your neighbours, in the form of co-living, a wide view from your house and an efficient design for the use of space. 

The principles of comfortable compact living are seen in several projects of heren 5 architects, like the smart and efficiently designed loft in the Buiksloterham, or the housing block ‘De Eenhoorn’ where residents share some facilities in order to live smaller.
