How do you design a home on just forty square meters? And how do you build a sense of community in buildings where private space is scarce? Compared to the rest of the Netherlands, Amsterdammers live in the smallest homes. In Mokum, the average living space is forty square meters, while the national average is fifty-three.
Densification is a fact of life, and with it the role of interior architecture is shifting. Not only within the home, but also at the building level, where collective spaces are becoming more important than ever.
