From NYC's micro apartments to one couple's 140-square-foot home, small living spaces are the "it" trend in home design.
And now it seems they've made their way over to Europe.
First reported on by Wired, American architect Marc Baillargeon and French architect Julie Nabucet converted a 130-square-foot master bedroom in Paris into a chic studio, and the result is incredible.
The apartment is located in the Montparnasse neighborhood of Paris, and was created for the owner's son. In order to work, their design needed to be hyper-efficient in space, aesthetics, and storage.
The end product is a bi-level studio apartment with a kitchen, bathroom, and even a hidden pull-out bed.
You have to see it to believe it.
What was originally a master bedroom with nine-foot-tall ceilings is now a bi-level living space.
It has steps that lead to the kitchen, eating, and bathroom areas.
The living area can be converted to a bedroom in a moment's notice. The kitchen table and second level help make the two areas feel separate.
