A contemporary micro-apartment project by Two Five Five Architects proves that small spaces can be practical and beautiful

The team delved into other design genres for inspiration."Trying to figure out the façade was no small task. We looked at patterns and layouts, some inspired by Esther Mahlangu and The Ninevites' fantastic rugs," says Krige. Working with Corobrik products, the architects were able to create something on trend."We ended up with something we think is fun: Ndebele meets Memphis style.

"We also considered various social and economic demographics - the single occupant, a professional couple, an Airbnb guest - in terms of what they could possibly need from the space," says Kruger. Due to the design intricacies of such a small space, the architecture and interiors needed to work together."Having Triple Zero in the same office allowed us to design more efficiently and ensure that the language of the project was coherent," says Krige.
