Designers Andrea Fino and Samanta Snidaro of the Italian Sand & Birch Design Studio have created the OFT house to answer the varying demands of modern lifestyles; the OFT design system is based around a fixed core base that can have live-in modules added to it as your requirements change with time - it even allows for the removal of redundant living space.
So you need a temporary home office, a new room, or need to reduce space instantly (as the in-laws are thinking of downsizing into your home), then the OFT home is a prefect solution. The Italian design team, who are better known for their amazing furniture designs (like the Velvet, Sophie chairs and the Diamond Sofa), have excelled with this architecture project, making the idea of changing your home design as often as you change your wardrobe fashion a functional and futuristic reality.
