A very small apartment in Paris needed to include a bedroom, bathroom, dressing and working space. The challenge was a total space of 23 sq. meters. French designer and architect Paul Coudamy designed a mobile system in the form of a U-shaped bookcase (in a gorgeous red color), which actually shapes the entire room. Simply move it to uncover the bed, the dressing or the working space – What a great concept for small compact living spaces.
The entire space is dominated by matt white walls and a vibrant red gloss color, creating an interesting graphical effect.
The headboard of the sheltered bed is a two-way mirror which gives the illusion of a larger space, while leaving the viewer uncertain of what’s hidden and what is visible.

It certainly is a lot of pushing for “cool feel”. Nothing is gained functionally.
This is a really interesting architectural design! I love the pop of color and how the space is easily transformed, hiding what a person wants hidden, to give the room a whole new feel: office or bedroom. I’m curious: was this the entire apartment space or was there a downstairs too? A general living space seems to be desired if this is as large as the apartment is.
Yup! This is the entire apartment space – quite tiny… I believe the staircase is actually the entrance to the apartment.
