Back in November, I posted about Japanese Micro-apartments and how they might offer the feeling of space confinement on long-voyage space vessels. On a happier note, Spanish architecture firm Elii takes a tiny (620 square feet) living space and redesigns it to offer useful elements such as hidden storage, disappearing eating space and maximal sunlight penetration. Living space will continue to require new ideas to maximize available space while keeping the space both cheerful and usable. Energy demands may also push us towards smaller and more efficiently heated and cooled options. Check the video for a tour of the apartment and it's useful and entertaining gadgets.[video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVEi86-3850]What do you think?
