The Nest House – DBEW (Design Beyond East and West)
International competition. Winning design
Design: Bianchini & Lusiardi Associati

“The nest House” is the winning design at the DBEW competition, organized in 2002 by the South-Korean company Hanssem.
The competition theme – to design an apartment for an Asian family of two adults and a child – was fulfilled by creating a multipurpose living room where all furniture are grouped into “functional nodes” located on the room perimeter.
This way, the domestic space dynamically expands and contracts like a magic box, supporting the needs of family members.
