Brilliant.

It's perfect!

That is amazing. The "box" could be incorporated into even large lofts to break up the space.

Still, I think I would feel too closed in when the facade is shut tight.

this is amazing!

Lovely sense of space.

I want one.

Great video and tour - thanks!

Genius.

Extremely livable and just brilliant. This architect has an amazing future ahead of him is my guess.

I'd live there in a heartbeat!

I think that's great, a perfect bachelor pad.

totally fascinating!

very cool...love the "nest"!

Wow...Love it. My only concern would be how close the ceiling is to the bed...but still, wow.
I love how the 'kitchen' can open up to a 'bar' to the outside. So freaking cool.

Love it, love it, LOVE it. I come to apartment therapy for posts like this, exposing me to new ideas and possibilities for design and living. It is inspiring that there are people out there who show living can be full, creative, and rich in a small space. I am delighted that is is a reality, and not another series of 'concept' illustrations.

Love it. Love seeing things like this.

Sigh and smile as I watch... :o)

Very Cool. If one could incorporate the kitchen into the box, all you would need is the box.

That is absolutely amazing! I love the furniture and how it really allows the space to be totally functional and organized! This is completely brilliant. If I were single, I could live in that space.

I want it.

Depressing.

One of the things that impressed me was that it looked lived in. It looked like we've just called in to visit unannounced as there is still washing up in the sink and an outfit casually discarded over the top in the bed platform (even though there is obviously space for it in the cupboards). To me this shows that the space really works for him. Its not magazine (or AT house tour) perfect.

Plus I really really like space!

That was fun. Given the cost of real estate in France, darned brilliant too!

Small quibble, but I would have done sliding doors in the bathroom cabinet. It looked like they barely cleared the space.

Very well thought out. I have lived in tiny places before and you really have to be beyond organized. The box furniture is a brilliant solution!

Absolutely brilliant use of space! Great video.

If they open and shut that &*&^% door one more time I'm going to scream!

Depressing to you, but not to the man who built it or the one who lives in it. Chacun a son gout!

I live in France and know this video well. The studio is located in one of nicest and most expensive parts of Bordeaux, and the 'alleyway' is very like a London mews as found in Belgravia or Mayfair. The idea of concentrating all the 'technical' aspects of a home in one 'box' is growing in France, and reduces pipework and electric cable runs to a minimum, to reduce costs as these are expensive to install (the French government keep publishing new norms and regulations). I am currently looking for a similar old building to do the same sort of conversion! Very inspiring.

@empressive: That's what I was thinking too! "Just let that fu$#ing door !"
I really like the video, I like everything but the box.

So beautiful. This reminds me of some lovely architectural work they're doing in barcelona as well. Stunning.

Just awesome.

Amazing ideas. I would love to know, how expensive it all was.

Lovely and very creative. Like the idea that they have found a way to incorporate saving the costs associated with installing electricity, etc. Great space! Just wish I was organized and disciplined enough to get rid of space eating "stuff".

I wonder if Jeremie when coming home just stays in until the next day because of that sliding door? Gee that was annoying. However, I loved the space at ground level but not the bed 'nest'. I mean, could you have company?

What I enjoyed most about this property was that two people saw it's potential and created a liveable space that questions the norm. Good on them.

Now if only I could find a stable-sized space in Sydney that's a bargain price.

Amazing. That he even has a guest bed is crazy! The straight backed couch doesn't look very comfortable but presumably the owner is not a couch potato. I also couldn't believe he actually had a washing machine! Does he set up a clothesline in the driveway? I would have to know that I could climb out that skylight over the bed to not feel claustrophobic. But really - it is very clever how he absorbs the driveway into his space, e.g. the wine bar over the sink for entertaining.

Brilliant use of space! I'm always amazed at people who can see the potential and visualize an outcome for such spaces. I very much admire that talent!

j'adore

I adore this, I would love to make this a reality
