As far as i know Japanese have that style of living for years...Panel doors that moves across the space to fit the needs.

This might be a random thing to take from this video, but I’m in a wheelchair and several of these things would be extremely helpful! I have a fairly big house, yet somehow I have several areas where I can’t properly move around because my wheelchair takes up so much space. I have to choose furniture based on my wheelchair rather than what I need or like. I have a single bed for example just because that’s the only size I can have if I want any other furniture in my bedroom, if I were to buy a double bed I wouldn’t be able to have a desk or a dresser because I couldn’t move around them. But if the bed folds up it could work. I never thought about it before but having things like a Murphy bed or fold-out tables or desks would be very helpful for me. Maybe you could pitch these prototypes to companies who have disabled clients? I think many disabled people would find alot of this helpful. Obviously some would need fully automated versions, but it’s a start. Edit: just noticed this is from 2012 lol, but still!

@@KBS_ar The idea is once a great design is perfected it can be replicated for many at a greatly reduced design. With this beautiful design you could adapt it to twice the space with 2 bedrooms, each with it's own guest room, making 4 bedrooms, and have 3 or 4 bathrooms instead of another kitchen space, etc. If you have a favorite sport you might like to have a very large space designed for that sport, like a beautifully designed personal skate park and this exact or larger apartment design attached or make it big enough to also accomodate your 4 favorite expert skate boarders, each with a duplicate apartment attached to a much larger skate park, and get ongoing inspiration and tips from them. Or same idea for other sports, like roller skating rink, free-running parlour training faciliy with as many of these exact duplicate apartments attached as you wish. You could have a much larger master bedroom and personal Jacuzzi baths added, for yourself or all the attached apartments, too. There are many ways this concept could be utilized for larger spaces, including increasing the square footage for each room if you can afford to, and would rather have it bigger. It's still a great design with everything you need compared to most. I'd like to add one of those small Japanese bathtubs high enough to soak in after showering at the base of the shower and a hand held shower apparatus and fold down shower seat for washing feet or shaving legs without cutting yourself, which could fit in the same footprint. Said shower could be a personal sauna also.

Issue with this apartment is there is a lot of emphasis on “having people over” over the cost of the person actually living there.

I actually thought about having a similar solution in my own apartment, only to realize that I hardly ever have people over. And I realized that my mind was basically solving how to incorporate "the ideal home" with all its "spaces", rather than asking myself the important question; "how do I actually live my life?" So I started to design the apartment out of my own needs with multipurpose furniture rather than transformable spaces.... And for me personally, that was a much better decision. :) It's very spacious, very little material use, and everything is so accessible in comparison to the initial idea of "transformation".

Some others want to avoid homelessness, and they prepare for the worst and try to make the best of it before they are force to go homeless, if they ever are. Some are homeless and want to get a roof above their head cheaply, so they use a bucket composting toilet, a water basin to wash themselves in, and a bed, and live in a nano camper (check out the video called "Boeing retiree finds meaning inventing micro homes & high speed trikes" for more info), others have been homeless and want a backup plan to avoid being one again, and others are being forced by the the current global economic issues to become homeless in the near future so they prepare as much as they can with the money they still have. $1200 is enough to strap together a nano camper with a small propane cooktop, a small solar panel for charging phone and/or laptop, some vents for cross-ventilation, a few LED lights, and stockfood for a month and water for a week, and maybe even a folding petrol scooter (folding so they can take it inside when not in use, to not risk having it stolen) so they can move to a different city on the very cheap (we're talking 100+ miles a gallon for a 90cc or 3hp petrol folding scooter, if not in mountainous areas).

Agreed. Completely tedious. Places like this are not as much for minimalists as much as city folks who are so desperate not to leave the city, that they're willing to sacrifice peace and rest. My man and I share an extremely comfortable king size bed in our 812 sq ft apartment. The apartment is still unfortunately too small for him. He frequently bumps into things because it is so cramped. Plus, in a convertible apartment like this, we can't do separate things at the same time. In this kind of apartment, I can't keep sleeping when he wants to get up and watch the news while drinking his coffee. Besides all that, this apartment would barely kit our guns and ammo. Lol Let alone a week's worth of food. Cooking in that kitchen looks like an absolute pain in the ass. Home is supposed to be sanctuary. Not a hassle.

That's the Murphy bed they used on Sims 4 Tiny Living!

Murphy beds are a very old idea they are in farm houses that I've seen that are two to three hundred years old. Many things that were used closed back up into the wall. Of course the ironing board with people don't even use anymore. I looked up the history of Murphy Beds and somebody patented them in 1911. Which is amazing because they were around 100 years and more before this. The designs varied by materials available but there's always been a bed that folded up on the wall or in a closet.

I miss my wallbed. I'm beyond this. This was me 10 years ago. My next step is a tree house in the middle of Hawaii.

The whole idea behind this is great, but even if this is mass produced, it will still be beyond people below the poverty line and lower-middle income. Also, I could build this myself, saving money, but I doubt I could find a landlord that would let me do this to an apartment.

You can talk about how impressive the use of space is all day long, it's still a tiny cage masked to give an impression of a bigger space. I'd go mental in there in a week, my bedroom is bigger than this entire apartment probably. I'd never live in an apartment in general. Not living in a house is like someone takes half of your freedom away. And only people who live in a house can understand that.

Yes. Go live in it. It's a dream come true. Don't move to the west. We have volcanoes, earthquakes, and occasionally tornadoes. So you're soooooo right. Go there and love it!!! I might just beat you there! Hurry! Do it. Before I do it! And stay! Never come to the west.

I've often thought about this type of furniture for my studio apartment portfolios ... this has definitely taken my thought to a whole other level. I totally love this. Thanks for sharing

This is awesome. I wanna do something like this for my other apartment. Love the Murphy bed/sofa and the movable closet/divider.

One of the best small houses out there

I have OCD and this house is like, a dream. I feel like i would be really happy living in a place like this.

Fantastic!! Very, very imaginative, SIMPLE, solutions to reducing our footprint. And what a classy finish to everything!! It's an absolute credit to you, sir!!

Love the diversity of the space transformation options, it's really cool and fantastic ! Super practical and yet futuristic ....You don't need to have a lot space to have a perceived big house ... Marvellous !

Omg this is absolutely genius!!!! I LOVE everything about this! Especially for places like New York City & SanFrancisco where affordable apartments can be so small. This gives you the ability to entertain family while being in a small space.

Astonishing! I'm very impressed. It really works. I never felt hemmed in, but felt cozy and warm in this space. I would miss being a gardener, but if you live in a highly urban setting like NYC, this is ideal, and a great model for people to use. You have given something exciting to others. And it has changed the way I see space now. You are right. We don't need bigger. We need clever design. Many thanks for your hard work!!

Love the design elements. Would love to see a variety of woods, fabrics etc that add a touch of warmth and welcome to the living space. Otherwise, genius!

This is stunning - I really like the way the 2nd bedroom is incorporated

Every apartment in the world should be built like this. Instead of the rich people living in excess. The entire population of the world could live in the state of Texas. Make the most out of the least.

@NeaonBHB

+N0tePuff You could be right. I tend to feel like the majority of people out there, when presented with a larger living space that is sparsely designed, vs. a smaller living space that is more efficiently designed, would lean towards the larger space with the belief that they could improve the efficiency down the road when they have more disposable income and therefore have the best of both worlds, as it were. That isn't to say that they necessarily would do it, just that I think it would be prevailing thought process. When my wife and I bought the home we are living in now, we opted for a 3400 sq foot home a full hour away from our employer during the commute, as opposed to a more modest 1600-2100 sq foot home 15 minutes from our employer. The allure of "more room to stretch out" is a very compelling one, and a challenge for these micro-builders to compete against. I'm not saying it's impossible, just that at the end of the day there is a lot of acreage in this country for people to be willing to live in the equivalent of a shipping container.

I really like this alot because it means less space, less work in cleaning up your space, lowered electric bill, lowered property taxes in comparison to a standard 800 square foot apartment in Miami Beach or Dowtown Miami, FL.

IM SO IN LOVE With THIS APARTMENT!!! 💯❤️💯❤️

The best design for any apartment. Everything down to compact clothes and kitchen needs!! Genius

This has more storage than my 2 bedroom flat... Love all the details in the kitchen, and as for the induction plates, I love it. We don't use all 4 burners at once, on all the stoves we've had, because they're always too close to each other anyway; sometimes we can only use 2 (and most of the time, thankfully, that's all we need). Also, I love induction, so it'd work great for us. Honestly, this flat is more functional than where I'm living now, and at least, there aren't spaces that I never use. The bathroom is also the same size as mine, except this one functions better and is much nicer looking.

I'd love to see these ideas implemented with more traditional finishes for those who would like the added functionality with a less sterile aesthetic.
