# Minimalist Multigenerational Houses Compass Architekti Builds a Modern L-Shaped Home in Bratislava By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-06-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-lshaped-home References: [archdaily](https://www.archdaily.com/896710/family-house-jarovce-compass-architekti) & [compassatelier](http://www.compassatelier.com/) Slovakian studio [Compass Architekti](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vape-pen-battery) focuses on strong minimalism and strategy-oriented layout in the design of this modern L-shaped home in Bratislava. The dwelling has a curious aesthetic as the building gently curves, while a seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces is established. Compass Architekti were tasked to erect a single-storey house that made optimal use of space, had no stairs and enough room for [grandparents and nine grandchildren](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-with-one-pillar). As a result, the architectural firm included a [spacious green atrium](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sanctum-house) that serves as a focal point of the minimalist and modern L-shaped home. The format of the house "defines the atrium on its two sides." To further create a dualistic interior, Compass Architekti consciously divide the living space into "day parts [and] night parts."
