If you can land yourself some loft space then consider youself lucky since most loft space is definitely at a premium these days. But if you are one of the fortunate ones then you will be faced with the task of dealing with a whole lotta wide open space. This is where the Z-Box comes in. It’s a freestanding bedroom-in-a-box. It’s 12-feet square (and 10-feet tall) and it’ll run you about $18,000. The Z-Box features an area for your bed, side tables, a closet and even lamps and back-lit shelving. Sweet!

The Z-Box gives answer to the two of the main questions of the owners of newly renovated wide-open loft; where are we going to sleep? Where are we going to put all this stuff? The basics idea is to create another room inside a room thereby dividing the area in two. I know you loved the idea but remember, the Z-Box costs $18K... ... the architect Dan Hisel’s Z-Box is a 12 foot squared, steel-framed and freestanding 10-feet tall box made especially to fit small places. Lined with douglas fir wood, the Z-Box features a sleeping area, night tables, clothes closet, lamps, and shelves backlit with windows. The translucent polycarbonate exterior wall holds a bookshelf, and a small dog bed. (bornrich.org)
