The "Minima Moralia" Provides Affordable, Customizable Studio Space
With its overblown rental market and the rising costs of tertiary education, London is turning from a city that welcomed creative individuals to one that locks them out. Tomaso Boano and Jonas Pri?montas believe that "creativity should not be linked to social status," and the way to counter this is through the creation of affordable spaces. As a response, they have created the "Minima Moralia"; a compact, modular steel frame assembly with infinite possibilities for customization.

In doing so, it bridges the gap between private and public spaces and furthers the investigation into live/work typologies. The designers are interested on how these spaces might pop up in clusters, forming new creative communities throughout London.
