Introduction to the Design of Small Spaces

“We have reached the end of the course, we hope that now that we have shared everything we know with you, you will be encouraged to carry out your own project. Remember that there are no spaces that are too small when you think big. Our job is to ensure that the client has a space that is optimal and this does not mean that it needs to be huge. So open your mind and see the spaces with different eyes. We want to see the entire process that you are going to carry out to create your project, we leave you an example: Space and strategy Choose the minimum space that you want to transform into a flexible space. Study their previous conditions, who they are or what their users will be and what objects they have. Analyze the four possible strategies to equip the space before deciding the one that best suits you (equip the center, the perimeter, one side or both sides).

The furniture Furniture is key when it comes to making the space more flexible. On the market you will find folding beds, disappearing tables and storable chairs that can help you maximize your space. You can also design your own furniture to solve your needs. The lighting Plan the lighting keeping in mind that the spaces are transformed. Think of a general lighting, an ambient one, a use one and a more decorative one to generate atmospheres and give personality to your project. Finish your final project Once your project is finished, turn it into a GIF to clearly visualize the versatility of the spaces. Whether you design it for yourself or for a client, this way of presenting it not only clarifies the project, but also creates an added illusion of discovering new spaces and their uses. Give visibility to your project so that the whole world knows it. Create a database of relevant architectural media and share with them the GIF you have created as well as a short press release that summarizes the concept of your project. Remember that naming it will make it more memorable. Your space is over! Surely it is marvelous. The first step to make your project visible is to share it with the Domestika community. So don't forget to upload your final project, so we can see the wonders you have achieved. In addition, it fills us with emotion to see how you have managed to enter the world of flexible spaces. Remember that the world is too rigid and we are here to make it flexible. Do not be afraid to start your project because to make a space more flexible, you only need to play with your imagination, plan and investigate a little. Use the tools that we have shared with you and you will see how little by little everything becomes much easier. If you have any questions along the way, you can ask us anything through the forum. We will respond to you as quickly as possible. We say goodbye for now, but see you soon on the forum! ”
