Nina Tolstrup and Jack Mama, of Studiomama, discovered this unique 13m2 space as a part of a series of projects exploring the potential for small footprint living. Formerly a taxi office, they radically redesigned the north London home to better fit its tiny proportions, with themselves in mind. Keeping only the bathroom and the kitchen in their original locations they added built-in storage along each of the internal walls, incorporating a standing desk, seating, and even a dining nook that expands to seat 6. A murphy bed was also concealed inside what first appears to be a wardrobe at the far end of the home, with storage incorporated inside the cabinetry surrounding it. A plywood finish is carried throughout the home creating a seamless feel that is supplemented by pops of brilliant pink.

Air BNB maybe but not to live permanently. I’d go mad! Too small and coffin like.
There’s a lot of great ideas here. I wonder why they dont tear down the building and build a narrow building instead…too small maybe
That bench seating really needs slanted sides so you can have more comfortable leg room. Also, whats with the awkward joinery? Not as high spec as we usually see here, which is surprising. In such a tiny space any odd shadows and lines are very obvious in a way that bigger spaces don't experience.
It would be a nice Airbnb as London is so expensive for temporary accommodation. I would be happy to stay there for a few days.
Too much bending down on a regular basis to access things.
a second floor would be great in this house, at least the double size.
i wonder why they didn't show the fridge or open any of the doors below
Too small and not much appeal.
Where is the food storage?
In other words it is living in a perpetual motel room, that rent out weekly/monthly. For transient and those who cannot afford a apartment or home. The ceilings are too low here for taller folks. I would say this is suitable only as an AirBNB type rental, or someone with no friends and family.
Makes me think of a mobile home or a caravan to be honest!
It feels like a high school project and most suitable for people under age 14!
Great job but too tiny for my taste. Way too tiny
no way that pulled up seat for the dining table holds a person's weight. unless its for a hobbit
for a space this small i would use futons that can be folded away like in Japan. Murphy bed too bulky. Then space can be used for other things after
why would you put big bulky cabinets by the windows, blocking so much light and taking up space
Who in their right mind would want to cook in there
Wow!!! This has to be the most ingenious way to work out the smallest living space and still make it a cozy living space! Amazing!! 👏 👏 👏
How do you get comfortably in and out of bed , there is barely enough space to sit beside the bed. And opening the closet when the bed is down looks impossible. This space feels cramped. And where is the fridge?
If I may speak frankly. Do we really need two BIG windows? Why didn't they centralize the door entry? I can only assume that /had/ to work within the perimeters of this building. Even so, WHY would you want to close off the entry way like that? It could've been a bench with built-in storage that didn't disrupt the sight-line from the entry way! That "dining nook" and "seating area" looks SO uncomfortable……………………………….This wasn't my favorite.
Has there ever been featured an appartment inhabited by a physically disabled person, a single parent, an elderly person, a plus size person?
seating looks uncomfortable
looks pretty like a movie set with some theoretical thought into usability. but i highly doubt the designers have ever lived there because the practical liveability of this is zero.
This looks terrible, too pink and cheap. Also – in Poland the space has to be 26m2 or 28m2 to be considered a flat that you can be registered at. It should be what it was designed for – a small office space.
I don’t see a cooktop or a hood. I hope the kitchen has both.
Reminds me of a Barbie house I had as a child. As a fellow architect, I appreciate what you did there.
I would not want to sit on those fold out seats.
I'm sorry, but this is a total waste of space… When you have that small space, you need something like that:

It's basically a stationary caravan
