Lego-Style Studio Apt In A Former Pigeon Loft

Where: Barcelona
Architects: Barbara Appolloni
Owner: Christian Schallert
Size: 260 sq ft / 24 sq meters

Designed by Spanish architect Barbara Appolloni and located in Barcelona’s hip Born district, this tiny apartment is a former pigeon loft remodeled into a great bachelor pad.

Located in Barcelona's hip Born district, the tiny apartment is a remodeled pigeon loft. Christian says its design was inspired by the space-saving furniture aboard boats, as well as the clean lines of a small Japanese home.

When Christian Schallert isn't cooking, dressing, sleeping or eating, his 24 square meter (258 square feet) apartment looks like an empty cube. To use a piece of furniture, he has to build it.

Christian's hosted up to 40 people in his apartment.

The bed is ingeniously designed to pull from underneath the outside terrace.

The bed can be made to become a couch by partially pulling it out.

The dining table seats up to five people, is pulled from the wall revealing a window.

The terrace off the apartment expands the living space, giving the appearance of an apartment that seems larger than it is.

There's an additional spatious roof terrace up above the apartment which includes a generous lounge platform on one side and a japanese soaking tub on the opposite side.
