HORNBACH

As housing costs rise and living space shrinks, European DIY retailer HORNBACH wants to show that there is still room for big, original ideas even in the smallest of spaces. To this end, HORNBACH shows what's possible on just one square meter – with a film set in a house where tiny rooms become stages for unlimited creativity. From a vertical dining hall to a tiny table tennis room, we prove that every centimeter holds infinite potential.

BACKGROUND

As living costs rise and flats shrink, city dwellers feel there is no room left for big projects. HORNBACH risked losing touch with its fastest-growing audience.

IDEA

A house of tiny rooms, each just one square meter. A vertical dining hall, a table tennis room: every centimeter becomes a stage.

EXECUTION

A film cast with mime artists and dancers for precise control of every movement, plus a documentary and OOH.
