Tiny Pop-Up Provides Small Living and Workspace Solutions with Amazing Modularity

We currently live in uncertain times with a global pandemic altering the way we live and keep us captive in our own homes for majority of the time. We have come to accept this as the ‘new normal’; even if there is almost nothing normal about it. We have already with our readers many ideas and inspirations that allow them to work from home in a more efficient and organized fashion. Yet, there seems a newfound need for greater ‘work from home’ solutions that are far more adaptable, comprehensive and provide a dedicated workspace that takes us away from the comfort of our home. It in these times that we are reminded of a brilliant creation like the Minima Moralia designed by Boano Prišmontas.

Bring modular working space to your backyard that can easily adapt to your specific needs








Originally unveiled in 2016, this pop-up studio was designed to meet the changing housing needs in London where young and budding artists are being pushed out because of inflated living costs and rents. This adaptable and modular studio with a translucent skin was designed to serve as an affordable and adaptable live/work studio space that is temporarily occupied by different artists. Yet, in today’s world, we feel that this would make the perfect tiny backyard studio or home office that takes you away from your more comfortable living area and allows you to focus on what needs to be done.

With a vertical opening that stylishly unfolds to reveal the interior, ample shelf space and a chance for customization, this small delight might well be what you have been looking for in your quest for a cost-effective backyard office!

  • The Palisades Residence

    An entrepreneur and family with a passion for healthy living requested a large home on their dramatically sloping 2-acre site. They specifically wanted an informal layout that could be woven into the topography of the property. Wanting to enjoy as much of the site as possible, the client requested the inclusion of steps and landscape pathways to allow for access to more distant parts of the steep site. Situated on a promontory jutting into the canyon below, the hillside retreat boasts multiple vistas of the surrounding canyon and the Pacific Ocean beyond. Since covenants, conditions, and restrictions associated with the property allowed for only a single story above street level, many of the home’s rooms are located on a lower level which daylights onto the downslope side of the house. This modest massing arrangement allows for neighboring properties to see over the roof of the home. In three distinct locations, landscaped topography “fingers” heighten one’s awareness of the natural hillside. Bridges span over these fingers, enhancing and extending the natural graded areas deep into the heart of the home. The design solution offers new perspectives for experiencing the owner’s prized views while providing a glimpse of the topography as it stood before the house was set upon it. Meticulous craftsmanship and authentic building materials are recurring themes best exemplified by the widespread use of board-formed concrete walls, white oak shiplap wall cladding, and painted galvanized steel doors and windows. A datum of wall elevations was carefully laid out to align the joints of the seemingly random board-formed concrete with the adjacent wood boards that come in 3″, 4″, 5″, and 6″ widths. Floors, ceilings, steps, lighting, speakers, keypad controls, and outlets were all carefully placed so that no element ever interrupts a joint in the boards.
