Reimagining Small Space Living Our love letter to the visionaries and artists of small—footprint design.

We have carefully curated our 30 favourite ingenious projects under 50 square metres to inspire and delight you.

From Melbourne to Madrid, Athens to Amsterdam and Singapore to Sydney, we revisit some of our favourite designs while also sharing new spaces, not yet featured on our channel.

Architectural images, detailed floor plans and an extensive directory make this a rich resource for anyone looking to build, redesign or reimagine their own small space. We go beyond the designs and their creators to explore the historical context, the neighbourhoods and the cultures that shaped their inception.

You’ll discover ideas for creating less waste as we build our homes and expand our cities, ideas for reducing our footprints and living more sustainably, and compelling arguments for how these ends can all be achieved without compromising on comfort of style.

This is our celebration… our love letter to the visionaries and artists of small-footprint design.

For the first time, we introduce five key design principles to help us unpack and learn from their work.

• We explore how designs diversify living spaces to maximise their footprints and adapt to need or mood…
• And how they amplify a sense of space by allowing light and air to flow freely within it.
• We admire the architects and designers who don’t strip away but instead expand structures and add bulk to create greater function and comfort.
• We applaud those who revive the outdated and old to give it new life…
• And we marvel at the architects who innovate with bold features, materials and concepts to not only elevate and distinguish their own design but to challenge the notions of what small footprint living can be.

Malaysia Airports, Volocopter, and Skyports Are Looking Into Air Taxi’s Feasibility In Our Market

If you may recall, Volocopter last year had announced that it will be launching air taxi services in Singapore within the next few years. We have noted that the decision could have a spillover effect on our market given Malaysia’s proximity to the country and it turns out that could likely be the case indeed.

Malaysia Airports today announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding with the German urban air mobility (UAM) company, as well as Skyports who is a designer and operator of “vertiport” which is essentially an airport specifically made for air taxis. Both of these companies have actually collaborated before to build VoloPorts in Singapore.

The first result of this MoU will be a feasibility study for the deployment of electric air taxi services at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (LTSAAS) which is more fondly known to many of us as Subang Airport. Malaysia Airports are currently planning to turn the airport into a regional aerospace and business aviation hub within the next 5 years through the LTSAAS Regeneration Plan.

Malaysia Airports has also mentioned in the joint announcement that the study will also involve other locations throughout the country. However, don’t expect to be able to ride a Volocopter from Subang Airport anytime soon though because even if everything goes well, it is going to take years for that to become a reality.

Just take Singapore as an example: it actually took Volocopter around one year before the company were able to perform the first manned flight at Marina Bay and another year to officially announce its commitment to roll out air taxi services over there. As you may know, things are likely to be more challenging here in Malaysia but nevertheless, we will continue to closely monitor the development of this partnership as it progresses.
