Paris micro apartment stacks kitchen, bed, bath in 129 sq ft
When architect Julie Nabucet was asked to fit the rooms of a fullsized apartment in a 129squarefoot (12 m2) flat in the center of Paris (Montorgueil quarter), she stacked functions: she elevated the kitchen and rolled a bedslashsofa underneath (pulled out halfway, it s a couch; pulled out fully, it s a bed). To separate the cooking area from the sleeping, living room she used plywood boxes stacked as a wall. The boxes facing the kitchen are used as cabinets; those facing the bedroom are used as bookshelves. In the twosquaremeter bathroom (21squarefeet), she squeezed an Italian shower (wet bath). There wasn t enough space for a sink so she placed this outside the bathroom. To separate it from the kitchen she created a wooden netting that gives a sense of isolation, but allows light to pass through.
