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."
