Challenge: Design a jewel box of an ultra-low-footprint apartment in 420 square feet.
TreeHugger founder Graham Hill is trying to radically reduce his
footprint and live happily with
less space, less stuff and less waste on
less money, but with more design. He calls it "LifeEdited."
We need to have less stuff and live
in smaller spaces, like the 420 square-foot apartment he will
renovate in
2011. With some design and technology magic, we think 420 square feet
can allow for
working at home, space for two guests to stay over, a
sit-down dinner for 12, lounge space for eight,
and maybe even a steam room.
You can help:
Enter the LifeEdited design competition and win up to $70,000 in prizes
and the
opportunity to design the apartment!
So we’re asking you to redesign a small space thinking about these
core ideas:
- transforming space - use one space for work, play, sleep,
guests
- digitize everything - photos, books, music
- from ownership to access - think Netflix, Zipcar, Airbnb, etc.
- only the essentials - cut down on extraneous stuff, leaving
only what’s really necessary
