It is possible to arrange a normal apartment so as to obtain 8 functional spaces? These are additional rooms to be organized when needed, which can be created simply by moving a piece of furniture or a wall, or by opening a wardrobe. The trick consists in a precise one space-saving design of your home.
This is not an impossible undertaking, but a project for living spaces considered as a antidote to soil consumption, put in place by Graham hillfounder of TreeHugger, a website dedicated to ecology, known internationally. His 30 square meter apartment contains 8 rooms and numerous hidden spaces ready to be set up when receiving guests.
How is it possible to obtain new rooms when they are not present? It is necessary to strive to use built-in beds, folding tables e retractable desks. Graham Hill makes his own home study by simply opening a wardrobe and pulling out the desk, above which he places the keyboard of his computer, whose flat screen normally remains hidden behind the doors.
The living room sofa can turn into a single bed, or it can be turned into a double bed extracting a structure with a mattress, which when not in use remains embedded in a wall unit located behind the back of the sofa. The apartment also has space for one bicycle, which was hung vertically on a wall, almost as if it were a painting or a mirror.
One of the furniture in the house hides a series of stackable chairs, to be used upon arrival of guests, together with a folding and modular table, suitable for allowing twelve people to sit down for lunch or dinner. Even within the bathroom there is no shortage of surprises. In fact, it is sufficient to lower a wooden support to obtain a seat on which to sit in case you need to make a private phone call without being disturbed.
There is also no shortage of gods foldaway bunk beds, a small dishwasher that allows you to save water considerably compared to traditional models, one electronic composter suitable to be placed inside one of the kitchen shelves, a combined oven and a much smaller refrigerator-freezer than the huge American models. Everything you need is present in the apartment, without giving up, with solutions that could be imitated in homes of all sizes even in our cities, as Graham Hill himself proudly shows in this video.
