Germany-born, Switzerland-based designer Till Koenneker took matters into his own hands when he moved into a studio apartment that had no storage. Building a simple cube-like design, called The Living Cube, he found space for his vinyl collection, TV, clothes, and shoes. On top of the cube, Koenneker was able to incorporate a bed for guests and inside houses a much-needed storage space.
Koenneker sketched out his ideas and had them built by Remo Zimmerli.
Working with the space he had, The Living Cube, essentially a large piece of furniture, was built for his personal needs and solves a lot of issues.
I loved that they used virtually ever square inch of the cube and made it functional.

What every studio flat should use. Space saving solutions coupled with good design and severely under utilised!

Great idea! It would be a great design to implement in kids bedrooms as well. Kudos!

This is a refreshingly simple and intelligent use of space. No only is the conceptual design spot on but the execution is nicely done. There’s got to be someway he can share/sell his “blueprints” with/to the rest of the world so everyone else can get hip to the best use of small spaces.

Nicely done. :)
I might have gotten an idea from this for storing my shoes. They are currently on the floor.

No way will it be so perfect when anyone is using the space.Somehow everything turns into a big ball .The best idea is to own less stuff,and learn to live with few things.Dont keep buying things and keep filing your homes.I remember Joney Carson once said ,” we need bigger homes for our stuff,”

Really?… Records? I know Dj’s, Hipsters, and Dj-Hipsters think its cool to have a bunch of out dated music media laying around and need someplace to put it, but this is 20-fucking-13. This thing looks sweet, and is extremely functional, but I highly doubt the majority of buyers will be storing music in anything other than digital memory.

Fill it with books, if you prefer.
