Project Details:

Location: London, England

Year Built: 2021 

Architect: Boano Prišmontas / @boanoprismontas

Footprint: 161 square feet

From the Architect: "Boano Prišmontas designed and manufactured a digitally fabricated tiny home for a dwelling in North London. Conceived as a multifunctional and flexible unit, it provides an ancillary and unique space to work, relax, watch a movie, read or play video games. Mainly used as a study and entertainment room, the 'Dot House' comprises a bathroom and a micro kitchen to provide an independent and self-sufficient micro-habitable space that could be used for visiting, family members, and guests."

A sofa bed could be used to host guests

The Dot House is composed of two main spaces, the room and the bathroom. The room is linked to the garden with a three-meter-wide patio door, which establishes a visual connection with the main house, whilst merging the internal spaces with the surrounding garden

The internal finishes feature exposed birch FSC plywood on the ceiling, concrete tiles on the floor, laminated plywood panels on the walls, and terrazzo tiles on the bathroom walls.

A space to work and focus

The interior palette aimed to find a balance between the practical surfaces of the walls, the natural tone of the birch plywood, and the intriguing texture of the terrazzo tiles. The dwelling has underfloor heating controlled by a thermostat sensor.
