Talk about minimalist living, the “Paco” is a 3m x 3m x 3m box that contains all the things you need to live. Designed and built by Jo Nagasaka + Schemata Architecture Office as a conceptual model to help people imagine a new lifestyle.
The Paco is an exercise in creative and efficient use of space with a dining table that you lift out of the floor and a recessed toilet that doubles as your shower. You can sleep in the hammock or in the guest quarters, which are more like sleeping in Kramers drawers than a guest room. All joking aside, the Paco is about living simply and doing more with less. It can be use almost anywhere, on the beach, in the woods, in a warehouse or even inside another house.
Only from the mind of a designer whose asthetic and kinesthetic sensibilities were shaped by a Japanese unbringing .
