The price of housing is constantly rising, while empty commercial premises are proliferating due to department stores and e-commerce. The purchase of this type of property is cheaper than a house; therefore the number of commercial premises transformed into housing has increased. This transformation offers a solution for young people who do not want to give up living in the city, older people who prefer to live on the street level and professionals who can combine two uses in the same space: housing and professional office. 25m2Unit offers a solution that can be replicated and adapted to this new trend.
