After a couple purchased an unfinished apartment, they reached out to Vancouver-based Anthill Studio with a lot of their own ideas about how to make the most out of the 600 square feet. They had taught themselves 3D modeling program, Sketchup, which helped them work out the plan in preparation for the design process. The clients put an emphasis on storage, layout, and materials, which is evident in the finished KW Apartment.
The primary material used throughout was birch plywood with the addition of white, primary blue, yellow, red, and green laminates for added color. The plywood base gave them a neutral backdrop for their collectibles. Due to their love of collecting, storage was a major issue.
The guest room houses a Murphy bed with cabinetry surrounding it, as well as an office space with a desk and storage.
On the other side of the TV is the door to the main bedroom, which slides into the wall.
The bed is built as a platform bed with storage underneath, at the foot, and along one entire wall.

I think that the idea of making the most out of the space is interesting, but that flat looks like a monothematic-pastel-colour-minimal hotel suite. Every room has exactly the same style and some spaces are claustrophobic. Of course it’s a matter of taste, but why most of the places must look like as in an algid IKEA commercial?

I think that it depends on the region where are you looking at the apartments. This set of colors is quite typical for northern Europe. Such thing is hard to find in southern Europe which is dominated by bright colors, or dark wood.
