Lego Apartment in Barcelona
Architect Barbara Appollini designed the tiny apartment (in Barcelona’s hip Born district) to be flexible and efficient — making the most of the small space. Inspired by space efficient furniture usually found in boats or caravans combined with the minimalist lines of Japanese homes, the micro apartment feels spacious and flexible despite its pint size.
A small but fully functional kitchen is hidden behind yet another panel. Lift up the door to reveal a sink, oven and preparation space. There’s even a full-size refrigerator and dishwasher hidden in there!
The success of this micro apartment is the numerous storage spaces. The architect has designed nooks and cupboards all along one wall to hide away anything that’s not being used. That leaves the rest of the space open and clear.
When it comes to small spaces, flexibility is the key. This apartment takes the idea of flexibility to its extreme. The result is a small space that feels much larger than it is. This house could host a party with 40 guests spilling out onto the decks, or it can be a private bathroom for one. Either way it is stylish, intelligent and infinitely versatile.
