The Mini FAB is a studio providing 37m² of living space. Its compact design includes a small kitchen, a tiled bathroom, a double height dining space, a living area with a sofa bed complemented by a lofted bedroom above.
The Mini FAB living areas open on two sides to decks providing a variety of orientations. The northern and western sides of the 3 x 10 metre structure are glazed, taking advantage of views and providing a strong connection to the exterior. The roof form allows for solar panels to be installed at an efficient angle, ensuring the Mini FAB to be an energy positive solution.

Atelierworkshop was founded in 2000 on a plurality of thoughts and languages as a working process. The collaborative has different and diverse architectural experience in various parts of the world that combine professional work and research.
Their approach is orientated towards reconnecting people with a physical reality, a territory, its history and a cultural context. Over 23 years in practice they have developed a portfolio from bespoke residential and commercial boutique architecture to light industrial development, regenerative tourism and eco farm development.
“Our architecture seeks to reveal the landscape and the environment through innovation and common sense. Our projects are developed from a concern for forming one body with the site. Without compromising on design, we put priority on finding sustainable solutions".
