aVOID: Tiny House by Leonardo di Chiara
Leonardo di Chiara, who grew up in the Italian harbour city of Pesaro, already experienced a minimalist lifestyle in his childhood. He learned to make do with the few square meters of his bedroom in his parents’ apartment. Then as now, the architect's main concern is to organise a small space in such a way that it allows for as many everyday situations as possible.
