Michael Bloomberg, current mayor of the city of New York, organized a competition among architects. The task for the participants was to develop a project of a small apartment, the total area of which will be no more than 32 square meters. The holding of this event and the development of a new project for the construction of apartments became necessary in connection with the astronomical growth of rent.
The new complex of apartments that will be built on the basis of the project winner project will be located on Manhattan. According to plans, so far the Fifth Avenue Street in New York will not be built up with such buildings, as it refers to the sights of the city.
To carry out the task, a complex will be built, which will include 55 micro-modules. It is interesting that each apartment will be built separately and assembled as a designer. Housing will be made according to modern building standards: the best building materials, equipment and even wall insulation are used to provide comfortable accommodation. In addition, the house will have a garden, a room for storing important things, a beautiful terrace for picnics and even a gym. The approximate cost of apartments, according to forecasts, will be 2 thousand dollars a month.
