Why This Tool Exists

⚠️

The Problem

Urban housing shortage and high costs force residents into cramped micro-units (300-400 sq ft) that fail to accommodate modern living activities. A 300 sq ft studio cannot serve as bedroom, living room, home office, and dining space simultaneously, limiting quality of life and driving demand for expensive larger units.

The Solution

Ori integrates computer-controlled robotic furniture systems that transform single rooms on demand. Using simple mechatronics (low-power motors, counterweights, guidance tracks), residents switch a room from bedroom (integrated bed-sofa) to workspace (Pocket Office) to closet (Pocket Closet) via mobile app, voice command, or physical interface. This delivers 500+ sq ft of functional space in 300 sq ft, enabling developers to rent micro-units 10% below market at higher occupancy rates.
