At first glance, you will think that this is just an ordinary apartment with a modern design but you will surely ask how it looked so nice despite the small space and how it was able to integrate certain features in it too.

The bath tub can actually turn into a sofa merely by adding some wooden slats into add and a cushion which instantly transforms the bath tub into a sofa. Guess you also need to make sure that it is dry before doing that.

In front of the kitchen, there is a wall which can be pulled open to reveal a television wall. This easily slides out to hide the kitchen, creating an instant entertainment space.

And even if the home is small, it actually can accommodate many guests because it has different bed and sleeping areas with privacy. Yes, guests can definitely stay overnight after a movie marathon!

This diving wall in the bedroom area is also a vanity, and when opened, it exposes shelving that contains books and others items. It even opens a small counter too.

When not in use, the kitchen counter can be used as a desk, but when it’s cooking time, the sink and cutting board are exposed. Isn’t that very impressive?

Other added features in the tiny apartment is this cabinet that drops down. The designs even call it a cabinet elevator since you can access it by pulling it down. No need to use a ladder or step on a stool to reach it.

And like other homes with limited space, it also has a hidden floor storage for the couple’s must-have items. And this storage is located in the area where the bath tub/ sofa is located.

And what is even more amazing? Even if the space is limited, it was able to add some areas for the cats. The apartment is designed with a cat walk for their three pet cats.

It also has hidden bowls for feeding the cats. This way, there will be no mess on other areas of the house. Isn’t this really, nice?

Remember that the couple wanted to have a gym in their apartment? They actually got it. In the ceiling, a heavy duty hook was installed which allows them to work out from home.
