Central cube sets Paris micro-flat into work/living/rest modes

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

To create more functionality in a 16-square-meter (172-square-foot) Paris apartment, designers Elisa Nobile and Enrico Bona created a custom cabinet containing two beds, a desk, a kitchen and a bathroom with an unfolding shower. The furniture cube leaves more than half the space clear so it can be used as a rotating bedroom, dining room or home office: a secondary table descends from an adjacent wall offering space for the owner’s model-making interests.
The designers (EDB Studio) wanted the cube’s multifunctionality to remain hidden so they avoided handles, instead relying on a push/pull system to unfold furniture or open cabinets. To prevent fingerprints on the white cabinets, they used a nano-tech material called Fenix which if scratched can be repaired by applying heat.
Located in Paris’ fashionable Marais district- for centuries home to French royalty- the apartment features the limestone walls typical of the neighborhood (which the designers uncovered) and an exposed wooden-beamed ceiling.

    Regarding the fact that „the client“ asked for two single beds instead of one large one - and the design of the Paris map with it‘s bouroughs and the red dot indicating the location of the apartment - I wonder if this is an actual apartment owned and used by the client himself - or if it‘s only a Air BnB Appartment or some kind of Hotel room for short term rent? For me it seems too minimalistic with not much personality for an actual „real“ longterm appartment. 🤷🏽‍♂️

    Respected architect and Fair Company owner avoids free advertising by lying about ultra-quirky rental that appears empty except for one chair. She demonstrates that it's difficult to operate anything without practice, has a table big enough for the fake client plus 4 more chairless people, and nowhere for people less than 2 meters tall to put luggage. Such an obvious old Italian scam, spend a fortune renovating a 3rd floor walkup just to rent, design it so short people cannot deploy the beds, then remove all knobs and handles and hide the allen wrench to drive renters completely mad :)

It certainly is not a kitchen for preparing complicated dishes or stocking up on supplies, but in that location it is so easy to pick up what you want, either to make from scratch or from a _traiteur,_ and she seems more likely to join friends at a bistro than hang out cooking at home.

    I agree with what Beverly has said. They could have built a double Murphy Bed on the wall where the big table is, with a table built in to fold down when needed from the same panel as the bed unit. Then they could have had the current beds wall as a bigger kitchen unit benefiting from daylight with the bathroom accessed from the corridor where the kitchen is currently. That would be a far better design IMO as the current kitchen is way too small to be remotely useable. That fridge was smaller than most hotel room fridges so totally impractical for storing any food. They could also have had a small comfy sofa on wheels which could be easily moved around to wherever needed.

It's funny how some people "know better" than the actual person that will use that space XD kitchen is ok if you would think that it is second home for someone - can take pre-made food or just eat out.

    Have you ever heard of property value? This flat is in the heart of Paris. Go 20 or 30 kilometres out of Paris and you could probably find a home 10 or so times large for the same price. You're expected to not be a dumbass and move to the centre of a huge city if you can't afford it.

    First let's get it out of the way, WHAT a beautiful young lady. Now, those beds look not so comfortable but really that little apartment is all about living in that area of Paris. One can imagine a quick walk to the cafe or bakery, a bike ride to work or metro if its rainy or cold. The park in the evening or the local pool gym. A few drinks at a jazz nightclub on the weekend. What a way to live.

    Kirsten, you have been bringing us fascinating videos for years of people creating unique housing solutions. Thank you so much for sharing the incredible, clever, and thoughtful work of Elisa Nobile and Enrico Bona from the EDB Studio. I have seen a few interesting combinations of "magic boxes" where unseen doors are opened or pulled down to reveal elemental tools of a home. Their solutions is many steps beyond all of them, but one, of the other examples, and they were very good. I absolutely love their effort to capture the history of the stone and the Marais district thought restoration of the limestone pillars and wall sections. Plus, the shower stall is complete genius. What a gift their effort has been to the home and the owners!

    This is a pretty clever way to fit everything needed for an apartment into the size of a typical American bedroom. What's particularly impressive is that they didn't have to loft anything to do it, all of this would fit within a standard ceiling height. I don't think you'd be doing much cooking here though with that tiny refrigerator and lack of pantry space and no oven, but then, I suppose you wouldn't need to, living in the heart of Paris like this.

But I think the owner just wanted a place to stay whenever they visit the city. They may not want a very functional kitchen as they have easy access to great restaurants. You can make any place feels "homely" by adding items that have value to you. No matter the size or the configuration of a home, it all depends on the owner to make it cozy.

    Apart from the high ceilings, my lounge is bigger than this. If I was a workaholic with money who ate out every night it would be ideal. What we need is better transportation so that we can live outside of the city but nip in and out whenever we feel like it. However, as an experiment in maximising space I like it. I love the idea of multi purposing space. I have a kitchen diner of 25sqm and a separate dining room of 15sqm. In reality the dining room only gets used if we have a birthday, Xmas or get together of more than 6 people. I like the idea of being able to fold away or hide in some fashion the dining table and use the room for something else. We have a spare bedroom with a king size bed in it. This room is only used when family or guests stay and so is unused or a dumping ground most of the year. If it were not for cost I’d have a fold up bed.
