A wanderwall apartment is made out of a series of portable wall elements which each serve a specific purpose. There are units for storage, working, cooking, relaxing and every other basic need. Each wanderwall element can be lifted and transported easily. Once on location they can be used to build a fully customized dwelling.

The minimum size of a composed dwelling is 3 by 2 elements but it can easily be reconfigured to a 3 by 3 or 4 size, this allows for extreme flexibility in a restricted floorplan. Apartment sizes are approximately 18, 24 and 30 square meters depending on configuration. Once the wanderwall units are constructed they form sculptural blocks in a large variety of colors, turning a building into a surreal landscape.
In between the sculptures there is an irregular space. This way there is no feeling of restricted hallways and it also allows for daylight to enter into the interior of the building. Setting the apartments more apart also creates the possibility to introduce attractive semi-public spaces. The apartments themselves are comfortable spacious despite of their small size. Because all functions are in the walls it leaves the rest of the room empty for use.
