Best Apartment ever, in 130 Sq Ft
« on: May 25, 2012, 03:35:49 PM »
I would pay more to live in this apartment than I would to live in a space 10x the size. Easier to clean, less furniture, lower utilities, really fricken cool.

That is fabulous and very clever.

I'd live there happily.

Thanks for the link.

That is really cool, I love the bed sliding under the kitchen, and turning into a couch half way.

Wow!  These are so cool!  I love how the ideas are so simple and they tackle such huge problems.

Hadn't seen that one before, love it!
I subscribe to most of the tiny house blogs so I get to see a lot of cool places and nifty ideas. Here's one I think is cool, in Spain, also has a trundle bed:

The bed under the deck is such a neat idea. And of course, the deck/rooftop adds more living area to such a tiny space so you really can have friends over.

This is really awesome, such a great use of the space with the bed/couch/coffee table setup.

Along the same lines - I saw this a while ago and loved the space.

I love how he calls it an Action Apartment.

I've always said that I would prefer to live in a well designed and planned tiny space. I'd move here in a heartbeat especially with the idea of reduced cost.
