With the advent of micro-apartments in cities, architects such as SsD are beginning to look at ways to increase potential for socializing in these small spaces. Songpa Micro-Housing in Seoul, South Korea, explores a novel typology that extends the boundaries of the unit to include semi-public circulation areas and balconies between the units - functioning as a public/private space and extending the indoors outdoors encouraging interaction between neighbors.

The dynamic nature of the housing block allows residents to occupy one or more units depending on their needs which can be combined in a variety of ways such as a gallery space, work space or extra bedrooms. The flexible living arrangement allows occupants to expand housing needs as required and live more sustainably as they do not have to move buildings when living needs change.
