MINI presenteert zijn nieuwste MINI LIVING Urban Cabin op de interdisciplinaire architectuurtentoonstelling China House Vision in Peking van 21 september tot 4 november 2018. Dit micro-appartement van 15m² is ontworpen in samenwerking met de lokale architect Dayong Sun.

De Urban Cabin in Peking is de vierde interpretatie van het concept dat MINI LIVING vorig jaar ontwikkelde. Elke Urban Cabin biedt een tijdelijke woonruimte met een hoge graad aan flexibiliteit en mogelijkheden – op een oppervlakte van slechts 15m². Om te breken met universele architecturale eenheidsworst, wordt er qua design steeds gefocust op de lokale identiteit en cultuur van de gaststad. Na interpretaties voor Londen, New York City en Los Angeles is Peking de nieuwste inspiratiebron.

Het centrale thema van het project is om te ontdekken hoe ruimte op een innovatieve manier kan gebruikt worden om een gevoel van samenhorigheid en een maximum aan leefbaarheid te creëren op een minimale oppervlakte. Om dit te realiseren, herinterpreteert de MINI LIVING Urban Cabin van Peking de traditionele stedelijke wooneenheden in China.

MINI LIVING Urban Cabin Beijing (09/18). Dayong Sun’s design is geïnspireerd op de alomtegenwoordige hutongs die kenmerkend zijn voor Pekings meer traditionele wijken. Deze iconische voorbeelden van Pekings architectuurgeschiedenis zijn opgebouwd uit gebouwen met binnenpleinen en gemeenschappelijke woonruimtes. Door deze typische structuur bieden ze een aangename combinatie van privévertrekken en gemeenschappelijke woonruimtes. Deze woonvorm is nu meer en meer aan het verdwijnen uit het stedelijke landschap als resultaat van demografische veranderingen. De MINI LIVING Urban Cabin in Peking is een echo van het onderliggende principe van een hutong, maar probeert het tegelijkertijd ook naar de 21ste eeuw te vertalen.

50 appartementen volgens MINI LIVING-principe in aanbouw in Shanghai.

Het eerste bewoonbare MINI LIVING-project opent zijn deuren in 2019 in Shanghai. Daar krijgt een innovatief concept voor samen werken en leven vorm in oude fabrieksgebouwen met een oppervlak van bijna 8.000 m2.

‘MINI LIVING biedt creatieve oplossingen voor samen leven en samen werken in de stad, op kleine schaal maar met talloze mogelijkheden en grote flexibiliteit’, vertelt Esther Bahne, Hoofd MINI Brand Strategy and Business Innovation. “Ons eerste grote complex, bestaande uit meer dan vijftig appartementen en publieke/gemeenschappelijke ruimten op een dubbel zo groot oppervlak, wordt momenteel in Shanghai gebouwd.”

Munich/Beijing. MINI presents the latest MINI LIVING Urban Cabin at the interdisciplinary architecture exhibition China House Vision in Beijing from 21 September to 4 November 2018. The micro-apartment concept was developed in cooperation with local architect Dayong Sun.

The Urban Cabin in Beijing is now the fourth interpretation of the concept developed by MINI LIVING last year. The Urban Cabin provides temporary living space with a high degree of flexibility and lots of possibilities – on a surface area of just 15 m2.
One particular design focus is the local identity and culture of the specific location in each case. After stops in London, New York City and Los Angeles, the latest source of inspiration is Beijing.

The central theme of the project is to explore how space can be used in an innovative way to create a new sense of community and maximum quality of living on a minimum surface area. In order to achieve this, the MINI LIVING Urban Cabin Beijing re-interprets traditional forms of urban living in China, thereby stimulating dialogue with community life in the city.

MINI Living started in 2016 and is dedicated to developing novel residential concepts for urban conurbations worldwide. Developments in big cities such as space shortage and price increases are taken into account, as well as the desire for flexibility, local identity and communal interaction. In order to address these diverse aspects, the project takes the "creative use of space" principle as developed for the classic Mini in the field of automotive design and applies it to the residential context.

MINI Living Urban Cabin Beijing: visionary format with historical roots.

MINI LIVING Urban Cabin Beijing (09/18). Every MINI Living Urban Cabin consists of three formal elements. The living and sleeping sections on one side of the micro-apartment and the kitchen and bathroom on the other side are designed by the MINI Living Design Team. The third section is defined by MINI as an experiential space with the character of an installation: for each cabin, a local architects' bureau is invited to fill out this space. The theme selected always has to be relevant to the specific location. In Beijing this experiential space was developed in collaboration with local architect Dayong Sun. He has created an open area of encounter as a homage to the courtyards of the traditional hutongs. Golden, telescope-like mirrors are mounted above this interactive space, reflecting the immediate environment but also the broader urban context. A swing at the centre of the space provides a playful shift in the viewer's perspective. The storage and seating facilities positioned around the Urban Cabin are designed in geometrical shapes reminiscent of traditional Chinese tangram puzzles, also acting as an attractive feature for contemplation.

Dayong Sun's design is inspired by the hutongs common in Beijing's more traditional districts. A hallmark feature of the city's architectural history, these residences are made up of courtyard buildings and passageways that are particularly appreciated for the combination of private withdrawal spaces and communal living areas which they offer. This model is now gradually disappearing from the urban landscape as a result of demographic change. The MINI LIVING Urban Cabin in Beijing echoes the underlying principle of hutong while at the same time translating it to the modern age.

Global network of creative residential solutions.

MINI Living is focused on forward-looking stimuli for a style of residential architecture that focuses on human beings and their need for individuality, flexibility and community. "Each MINI Living Urban Cabin creates maximum quality of living within a very limited space in a specific situational context", explains Oke Hauser, Creative Lead MINI Living. "The result is a global network of creative residential solutions in which people all over the world feel at home, while at the same time providing a public space for innovative forms of co-living".

With their individual basic format and elaboration, the various interpretations of the MINI Living Urban Cabin concept demonstrate the creative possibilities offered by micro-apartments. This has made them the forerunner to the first co-living project in China, which is to be opened in Shanghai in 2019. Here MINI is collaborating with Chinese project developer NOVA Property Investment Co. to convert an unused industrial complex in the Jing’An district into a multi-dimensional facility consisting of apartments and work spaces as well as cultural and leisure facilities. In addition to the creative use of space, the concept offers residents maximum flexibility with residential units of varying sizes and a vibrant urban neighbourhood. This creative combination of personal privacy and opportunities for communal interaction is supplemented with an extensive range of digitally bookable services, thereby establishing a whole new level of living quality in the urban setting of a modern city.
