This is the Closet House and considering it is just 44m2, it is very well named. But, like all great architecture, it takes limitations and transforms them into something truly clever. So clever, that it scooped the ArchDaily award in the Best Interiors Category 2010.
Smart design and home automation have transformed a small apartment into a much larger living space.
The apartment, designed by Consexto in Portugal, has five living spaces but to really make it work, everything had to have more than one use.
Take, for instance, the use of one of the walls, which doubles as a cabinet. The movable wood wall on one side serves as a bedroom wardrobe while on the other it hosts an extendable table, the TV, home cinema set-up and even a mini bar.
The design remains clean throughout, with almost everything in the kitchen stored behind automatic shelving and storage compartments.
A worthy winner indeed. Thoughts?
