Description

The focus of the project was on activating the higher regions of living spaces in order to make them usable as storage space. The special feature is that the constructions are temporary and completely reversible, i.e. no nails or screws are drilled into the wall. With these parameters, this work addresses current topics such as living in smaller spaces and moving more frequently. The constructions can be assembled in less than 5 minutes and offer more usable space even at a height of two meters. Both variants are built from Lisocore panels, a modern wood material that is only about a third of the weight of comparable materials and is therefore ideal for quick assembly and frequent moving.
