The apartment is located on the top floor of a residential modernist building of the 1950s. The architects named their project "Cabanon" in honor of the miniature house of the same name, created by the French architect Le Corbusier in France.
In the living room, one of the walls is divided into 12 different "cubes" that reveal their contents like the flaps of an advent calendar. A folding table, a small sink, a refrigerator, a bookshelf, etc. are hidden here.
The project of a compact Cabanon apartment in the center of Rotterdam with an area of only 6,89 square meters won the "Interior of the Year" award at the Architectenweb Awards 2024
"Cabanon, implemented in a post-war residential building in Rotterdam, is an example of genius. The project offers a wonderful space, measuring less than seven square meters, but an incredibly well-thought-out and efficient design. Thanks to the use of different materials and colors for different rooms and the storage of many things in the closets, this small apartment looks much more spacious than it actually is," said the jury of the competition.
The Architectenweb Awards is an annual Dutch national award.
