Sloft Edition 09

Space is the place

According to the UN, there should be close to 9.6 billion people on Earth by 2050, and most of them concentrated in cities. This is happening in parallel to our planet’s habitable surface dwindling under the pressure of rising sea levels and desertification. The notion of “sharing space” is thus taking on an increasingly weighty, almost critical tenor. Here at Sloft, we have been contributing to the building of this idea, in our own way, for a few years now. By promoting more compact design for housing, we’ve been able to imagine beautifully stimulating and originally sensible solutions to help urban dwellers envision a refuge in our ever-expanding megacities.
