Looking Out Week 4 - Charmaine Y





Tengbom Architects designed this micro-housing unit for students of Lund Unversity in Sweden.  The goal for this project was to provide students with affordable housing that is energy and space efficient for college students with minimal material.  The wood cut out of the walls to make openings are re-used to create desks, minimizing waste.  The plywood also makes the housing unit easy to manufacture and mass produced if needed.  The natural color of the wood gives a warm feeling on the interior, which is much better than the typical white rooms, yellow lighting in a common college room.
