Learn how to design a small space for optimal and flexible use, without compromising on style
Over the last few decades, technology, communication, and lifestyles have all changed drastically. However, when it comes to architecture, housing has largely maintained its rigid, outdated structures despite getting smaller in size. That's why architects and founders of Enorme Studio, Rocío Pina and Carmelo Rodríguez, design homes that make use of every square inch and are tailored to the daily needs of their inhabitants.
In this course, learn to approach small spaces with a different outlook and remodel them to maximum advantage without having to compromise style. Throughout the course, explore space structure, light, colors, and multi-functional fixtures and fittings.
