The Living Units can be used as holiday cabins, hide away, tree houses or short-time habitations for research, tourism or as a temporary shelter; their small size allows easy and different transportation possibilities. The basic unit can host two people with a double bed, a wardrobe, a table with chairs and the possibility to install a bathroom, and a kitchenette. If needed, two or more cabins can be combined together creating a larger habitat for four to six people. The one seen in Piazza del Cannone, right behind the Sforza Castle during Milan Design Week, was combined vertically, but it can also feature a horizontal layout.
