In April 2017, an installation called Breathe was unveiled at the MINI Living space at Milan’s Design Week. Built by the New York firm SO-IL, the prototype house is described as being ‘resource-conscious’, offering a sustainable solution to shared, compact city living.

Positioned in a narrow courtyard site, the designers had to build the house as stacked up living spaces, creating a slim, three-storey modular structure, with a white mesh PVC exterior that is designed to filter and neutralise polluted city air.

The structure can accommodate up to three people and includes up to six room possibilities. The roof contains a garden filled with plants to further improve air quality and the urban microclimate.

The four levels of the house are connected via a spiral staircase, while light-permeable textile walls separate the different spaces.

The house is capable of being easily dismantled and assembled in other locations, and the exterior skin can be replaced with one that performs appropriately to different climates.
