Compact House Made from Affordable Materials

Designer Anway Aljugrey from Inxide Studio has designed a modern, compact house that can meet all the needs of a person or couple with significantly less waste than a larger home would offer. The KOTAK Haus featured in this post is made from affordable materials that are both easy to maintain and will withstand the test of time, aging to become even more interesting looking. Inside, the home is not large, but sunlight and creative use of space make it feel open and comfortable.

The living room is just the right size for relaxing.

The lack of interior walls may feel precarious at first but ultimately makes things more comfortable.

Recessed lighting over the sofa makes up for a lack of windows in the living area.

A ladder leads up to the lofted workspace, a much more space efficient choice than stairs.

Wood, brick, and caged lightbulbs give the space an industrial feel.

Even the bathroom is left a bit open with the use of slatted walls.
