2 .what is abito? Imagine if you could buy a city apartment that was cheaper than a one bedroom apartment, but much, much better. That was specifically designed to reflect modern lifestyles. That could be customised to adapt to your own needs and personality. That was precision engineered to give you more, for less. Not bigger. Just smarter. That s abito.

3 .the vision From the outset abito had to transcend the existing truths that define current city centre apartments in order to achieve a special and unique living space. abito embarked on a Research & Development programme that started with a blank canvas and a mission to create an apartment for young professionals that embraces the needs of modern city living. This required us to perfect an apartment typology and use this to construct a building from the inside out, rather than starting with a building and then carving it up. The resultant vision was then tested through the construction of a full size prototype which was used to refine and hone our ideas. We are proud of the abito this process has created and believe that it will enhance the lives of those that live in it and redefine the future of city living. Les Lang abito

5 .space abito Driven by a purity of thought; abito is dedicated to the elimination of dead space. The central pod becomes the hub of the apartment, housing and hiding all the utilities to liberate space and create a circular walk that makes the apartment live and breath every one of its 353 square feet. Physically there is a freedom of movement. Visually there are unhindered views in every direction. And the sturdy walls ensure that your freedom is private freedom. abito is about creating a living environment that is multifunctional, inventive and easy to live in. It s about quality not quantity.

6 .light abito There is no quicker way to influence mood than light and putting you in charge of that influence is key to the abito vision. A floor to ceiling glass wall leads through to the balcony. That s over three metres of glass flooding the apartment with natural light and an opening to stunning views. Power sockets are hidden within the fabric, delivering a minimalist chic that actually works. Whatever lighting you desire, abito puts you in control.

7 .air abito Beautifully designed plinth mounted fan coil units deliver an even heat throughout abito. So whatever temperature you want, it s yours at the touch of a button. Integral ventilation, which accelerates automatically, ensures that smoke and cooking smells are instantly filtered out of the apartment. Together these ensure that abito is the ultimate controlled environment, putting you in charge of the elements.

8 .flexible abito Form and function fit beautifully together with design at its most sophisticated. Precision engineering allows areas of the apartment to virtually disappear, leaving you with the optimum lifestyle space for any particular occasion. Of course the bed folds away, but so does the bathroom. Every utility is out of sight but maximised for ease of convenience. The apartment can be arranged to define sleeping and entertaining areas or retracted to provide amplified lines and maximum room. Whatever you need, abito is ready to help.

9 .style abito abito is specifically designed as a blank canvas ready for the influence of individual taste. We believe that it s up to you abito has taken away so you can add. The foundations of lifestyle are in place, the fun bit is all yours. Of course, being abito, our design team couldn t resist the temptation. We can provide you with bespoke and sympathetically designed furniture packs scaled to sit beautifully in the apartment. There are three to choose from or ignore. There are no rules it s your abito.
