Meticulous Micro Apartments

The AirBn'P Micro Apartment Squeezes a Lot Into Very Little Space

— January 21, 2016 — Art & Design
AirBn'P is equally awesome in name and design -- this micro apartment, designed by Position Collective, brings together a multifunctional structure and a meticulously thoughtful design that allows it to somehow squeeze a whole lot of features and amenities into a very compact space.

The most crucial feature of this micro apartment is the inclusion of a bed and storage unit in the main room. This setup allows for the bed to be raised high up in order to be made level with the kitchen units, thereby creating a whole bunch of storage space just below. The drawers can also be used as stairs, with the top step doubling up as a bedside table.

The AirBn'P micro apartment proves that a little can be a lot when it comes to apartment design, something that's heartening to know in increasingly crowded urban environments.


Trend Themes
1. Micro-unit Housing - The trend of designing micro-apartments with multifunctional structures and creative storage solutions is disrupting the traditional real estate industry.
2. Maximizing Small Spaces - The trend of utilizing every inch of space in a small apartment or home is creating opportunities for innovative furniture and storage solutions.
3. Multifunctional Furniture - The trend of designing furniture that serves multiple purposes, such as a bed that doubles as storage or a staircase, is revolutionizing the furniture industry.
Industry Implications
1. Real Estate - Companies in the real estate industry have an opportunity to disrupt the market by designing and building micro-unit apartments that maximize every inch of space.
2. Furniture - There is a disruptive innovation opportunity for furniture companies to create multifunctional pieces that serve multiple purposes and are specifically designed for small spaces.
3. Construction - The construction industry can take advantage of the trend towards maximizing small spaces by designing and building innovative structures for micro-apartments with creative storage solutions.
