One way to save space is to suspend an entire room from the ceiling such as the suspended bedroom. Although this could be considered a separate floor in theory, in reality it is what it sounds like, a bedroom that has been suspended from the ceiling. Granted, the suspended bedroom is more of a suspended bed than a full blown room.
Located in modern London flat, the suspended bedroom is accessed by way of stairs. It rests right below a retractable glass skylight that opens up to lead to the rooftop patio. Not only does it provide more walking space beneath it, the suspended bedroom offers an intriguing sight as people go up to visit the rooftop. Another way the flat saves space is not having a traditional bathroom.
