It seems like a regular room, with a minimal aesthetic and laminated wooden flooring. But at the touch of a button, the kitchen disappears. The dining table and chairs sink into the floor, while a king-sized bed descends from the ceiling and a cinema screen opens out of the wall. Home is a box of tricks that aims to offer a solution to the challenge of constrained living space in cities by transforming one room into five.
The 40 square meter studio apartment alternates between a lounge, kitchen, dining room, bedroom, and office, with storage space beneath the floors and a separate bathroom.
The concept is made possible by a network of counter-weights that moves furniture in and out of the walls, floor and ceiling on request. Moving parts are equipped with sensors to ensure they do not collide with the occupant. “I’ve been involved with theater and designing the stage for shows – the mechanics of stage scenery are magical,” says YO! Company founder Simon Woodroffe, who also created the popular sushi chain YO! Sushi. “I wanted to use mechanics to make a small studio apartment of around 400 square feet into three or four rooms, because otherwise these apartments are divided into tiny rooms with no space.” The design was first announced in 2012 and has gone through several prototypes since. Now, work is underway with developers to roll out the finished product in the northern English city of Manchester.

Air-conditioned beds are not a far-fetched idea any longer.
