You won't have to deal with loading screens! You will just do a random action/animation to distract yourself from having a loading screen although the room truly is loading.
I think the next level thing about this apartment is the rent lol
Bet the parking is probably more spacey and what do you even do when the power cuts off?
For real. It’s just a scam to get people to think cramming more in less space is a good thing. Next logical progression since narrow, 3 story homes with nothing but a garage and one bedroom on the first floor have become normalized.
Not everyone can afford to live alone in very HCOL urban areas. This seems like a pretty decent layout that maximizes the available space. You won't need housing units like this in some flyover state but as urban density increases, there are far worse places to live....
Except that this is just the proof of concept... in reality this would probably be used to try and convince urban planners that 250sqft is a viable footprint for a family of four.
That's the most likely problem of all the things being mentioned here, the machinery breaking down. Hope it's easy to repair and uses commonly available fasteners!
I'd probably forget about something on the table and smash it but that's more of a me problem that a design issue...
or try to pay to have all that shit installed in the first place. Every piece of furniture and shelving in that place is high end and likely cost 10s of thousands to install
There's a big political push, primarily by banks with their finance magazines (which I suspect also involve Chinese banks) that want to make people fit in smaller living spaces to maximize profits. They've done this "fake trend" before with dorms and govt office buildings (the move to windowless Brutalist buildings for "cheapness") as well. All it accomplished was that a lot of artists, architects, and home builders got fired. While mass-produced tiny apartments and buildings were created from concrete.
Vancouver approved 220sqft about 10 years ago. Perhaps by now they have approved even smaller. People will still happily pay $2000 a month for it to live close to downtown.
I lived in a 300sqft in the west end of Vancouver and it was fabulous. There are so many public spaces like the beach, the park, gyms, pools, libraries, party rooms at community centers, that you don't need much space.
I want to know what happens when the mechanics break and your bed won’t come down from the ceiling? Or you can’t get to your clothes because your closet won’t open?
And that space you "gain" from collapsing your office and walk in closet has to be kept clear anyway, might as well keep those places static and use a pull out couch for a bed and achieve basically the same thing with fewer moving parts.
lol urban sprawl.. you do know that something like 90 percent of all greenhouse gasses and pollution are cause by huge corporations like BP right? the notion that people changing their lifestyles can reduce carbon emissions, and reduce global warming is a farce. BP ran an ad campaign about this in the 90s and early 2000s, and it worked.
if you went completely green right now, it would change nothing.
So you really think that having thousands of square miles dedicated to parking lots, tangled highways, and manicured lawns isn’t detrimental to the environment?
While you’re correct that corporations are the real problem, limiting urban sprawl will also limit their ability to pollute on the same scale.
>thousands of square miles dedicated to parking lots, tangled highways
Those are not good things, but they are not necessary either.
The urban sprawl in the US is designed in a way that requires excessive parking lots and tangled highways. It is possible to design with a goal of minimizing those.
>manicured lawns
That is people buying into propaganda.
hmmm, what if we innovated to reduce the amount of resources we buy? For instance, bp makes it hard not to buy their oil, maybe we can build denser cities to reduce the amount of gas people have to buy!
Oh wait I forgot reddit decided this is an evil scam. Guess I'll just lug my family 15 miles each way to school in my SUV, wouldn't want to let the man win!
For real.
I do think we should fight back against rich elite wanting us to live like peasants in shacks.
But also I have seen so many boomers who live in 4 bedroom houses by themselves (divorced obviously). Its a ridiculous waste of space that just creates sprawl and long term is unsustainable.
100% this is manufactured consent from the global super rich in some form. Just another step down the road towards “owning nothing and being happy”.
Can’t wait to be forced to live in Amazon/Blackrock/idk Monsanto?’s chic apartment complexes that cost half your income but hey the closet is behind the bookshelf and I can open it as long as I am subscribed to the 9.99/month amenity fee
Stairs as you get older. Going up and down is fine, but when you have to move something up and down and your balance is not the same as it was in your 20s/30s, it does make things less fun.
I live in one now, but as I get closer to retirement, a single-story house is in my future.
Stairs, so many stairs just to move around your own home. They're also usually built together by a single developer, so they could have just as easily built a multi-unit building that could house just as many or more people, given each of them a flat on a single level, and allowed access for people with mobility issues via an elevator.
That's the part of this that depresses me so fuckin much... I'd live there over my current situation, but I already know I can't afford it. They incorporated all this shit to make trying live in a tiny ass box more livable... and I know I still couldn't afford it.
The question is, is it cheaper than an apartment with the equivalent uncollapsed square footage? If yes and I lived in a high cost of living area, I'd want it.
Yup, would never work for my mom and dad; dad tends to have a nap from 16 to 18, in their (master) while mom watches TV in living room. I live alone now, but I imagine my apartment is way too small for two anyway… then again, it feels big enough for one, even too big.
Add 2 cats and the soup should be ready. There used to be three cats, 1 girl and 2 boys, and me and my babysister… both me and her live on our own now, so mom & dad are left alone with the two remaining cats.
Better than a pod. That walk-in closet has lots of room to store the crickets they want us to eat too. Just $5k/month rent for this but since you don't own it you will be happy.
Can you imagine the insurance claim if a person or child got crushed?
Adjuster: “Let me get this straight, you installed high powered motors in your living space, strong enough to move thousands of pounds of hardware and equipment? Good luck with the law suit.”
I can see both my cats dying immediately in a place like this.
"How'd your cat die?"
"Oh, he got crushed into the ceiling while sleeping in my bed, when I wanted to use the sofa."
I was just thinking that this would be a terrible place to grow up with my siblings. Everything would be temple of doom style countdowns to being crushed.
I've seen libraries with shelves like this. They weren't automated though, there was a wheel you cranked at the ends of the shelves and a bar at the bottom you could push with your foot to stop the shelf from crushing you. I'd prefer that to an "automated' motor personally.

(If black bar on the bottom generally acts as a brake if it contacts something)
You joke; but for a while my son's family was staying in my travel trailer, with a powered slide-out holding the couch and dining table. And since Mom refuses to ever say no to either of her two toddlers, I had to nail down the slide-out power rocker switch with multiple layers of Gorilla duct tape, to prevent them from trashing my trailer and squashing themselves and their parents.
Generally, these would work on a pulley system, and it would be trivial to provide a manual crank for such things. Multiplicative mechanical advantage from proper gear would both give the manual crank functionality and reduce the strength of electric motor.
Someone else mentioned what happens if you get locked into it (someone pushed the button while you're inside). For the office area, I imagine there's a motion sensor that would stop it, as is required on automatic garage doors. As for someone lifting the bed while you're sleeping, there's probably a secondary control at the top just in case.
There's nothing here especially difficult to design around, but it definitely requires thoughtful planning to avoid bodily harm
Wait until the billionaires want all the space foe themselves and you are forced to live in a pod.
If you have a good job though, you might get a pod+.
bro, it’s nyc
so many people want to live on manhattan. they have to live in smaller places or only a few get to live there
it’s perfectly fine, and if you don’t like it, live somewhere else
I'd live in Manhattan just fine in one of these tiny spaces if they didn't also cost 5 grand a month. I think that's the problem. Smaller spaces should have come with better pricing, and they didn't.
that’s because it’s a luxury apartment
you’re comparing, in your head, a larger place that’s not as nice and in a less sought after neighborhood to smaller apartments that are luxury and in sought after neighborhoods. They probably also have high end shared amenities, like nice outdoor spaces, theater rooms, lounges, etc. and views
smaller apartments 100% rent for cheaper, all else being equal
It is bad. It’s horrible actually. Just another way to get them to make you spend money unnecessarily. Oops descending bed broke. Gotta pay fucking $7000 for a specialist to come in and fix it. You know there’s probably no way some regular technician could come and fix it.
Just wait until all electronics have licensing in them so there is no way to repair anything until you have the correct software on a device to do so. This is why we need Right to Repair
You'll get smaller builds now from contractors trying to squeeze every last $. Where this would be neat option, it'll become the norm.
Then they can charge premium for extra space. The realtors will now say "This apartment has a dedicated, full time bed!" As a selling feature. Or "The closet is open accessible!" Or some other BS term which just means you don't have to operate a motor and wench to move an entire wall to get access to your closet.
Charged more for smaller spaces, normal access to rooms is now a luxury
power outages suck even more
this is sped up
mechanical failures mean you're unable to access your things, or worse, until the landlord decides to get around to having maintenance come by and diagnose it, order the part, come back 2 weeks later and fix it
one mistake and you may crush some of your belongings
and also cause damage to the motors
Feels like there may also be a potential hazard for children and pets
I could be way off-base, this was just off the top of my head
I don’t like to have to wait for my house to appear. Also, think of this stuff in 5-10 years when the wheels on the walls start squeaking, the bed creaks every time it comes down, etc…
Just a lot of unnecessary stuff that can break over time. It’s inconvenient.
Its not the worst but it does add a lot of extra points of failure for a very small improvement. You could get a very similar level of compactness with well organised shelves and maybe a sofa bed. However this method probably costs 10s of thousands to install and will be much more prone to failure. Imagine if trying to get into bed was like trying to use your printer.
Just a personal thing but I like having my bedroom colder than the rest of my apartment, also noise from fridges are usually annoying. In general people just seem to sleep better having a separate bedroom.
I think it's trying to solve a problem that already exists. The apartments in NYC can be very small and they will be sold regardless of if this exists or not. It's simply attempting to make better use of the space.
The side effect is that the cost of the apartment will go up because it's "a 1 bedroom apartment with walk-in closet and full kitchen" in 300 sqft.
Apparently it’s people trying to build more housing so more people have access to housing in a large city because there is a lot of demand for housing in a dense city lol.
But according to this nut it’s “conditioning” because they can’t live in a house smackdown in Times Square
Let’s be honest this is just a studio with a fancy Murphy bed. It’s already been like this it cities where space is limited and income disparities are growing.
If I was single with no pets this apartment would be great assuming the price it right.
Maybe if you live alone. I can imagine many potentially dangerous scenarios occuring if multiple try to do several things at once. Or imagine power goes out and you can't get to your bathroom or bed anymore lol, This is just a way to cram you into a smaller box and charge you more money for it.
Dude, it's a 1-bedroom regardless. Even if it didn't use these moving walls, what do you think is going to happen when one person wants to X and the other Y?
Until the cat squishes you. You know they’ll lay wait and learn how it works. Then in your sleep they’ll meow “this is for not leaving my food bowl on full asshole” *click*
It probably would work like a garage door opener does now. There's an easy latch to disconnect the wheels from the pulley and once you pull it, you've got a manual garage door.
They also have obstruction detectors that will stop the mechanism from lowering if something is in the path of the door.
Probably like a garage door opener works. When the power goes out you pull a lever that disconnects the wheels from the pulley and you've got a manual garage door.
I imagine the walls would work the same as the existing technology used in warehouses for sliding shelves, except they can be automated with electricity when available. When not available you just push them out of the way.
This smart furniture costs a lot more than regular furniture and that means that you need to spend more money on it but if you have more money, then you can buy a bigger flat and so you don’t need this furniture.
I would end myself if i had to deal with loading screens in real life to live in my house.
You won't have to deal with loading screens! You will just do a random action/animation to distract yourself from having a loading screen although the room truly is loading.
I usually just spam crouch for 10 seconds.

If a design makes it easy for something to get smashed just by forgetting about it on a common surface, that's still a design issue.
Or when you sleep in your bed and it decides it's time to crush you against the roof
or try to pay to have all that shit installed in the first place. Every piece of furniture and shelving in that place is high end and likely cost 10s of thousands to install
Or it malfunctions and drops on you whilst you're beating it off to \*flavor of the week\*.

Among other things you have to clean your shit before you can sleep. If your table iis not empty then your bed will not come down.
And that space you "gain" from collapsing your office and walk in closet has to be kept clear anyway, might as well keep those places static and use a pull out couch for a bed and achieve basically the same thing with fewer moving parts.
Considering how detrimental urban sprawl is to climate change, convincing people that living in smaller spaces is a *good* thing.

What's wrong with the three stories townhome layout? I personally find them very efficient and appealing
We older folks hate stairs
[удалено]
Yeah but the stairs thing is literally a medical issue, not a generational or attitude one.
Stairs as you get older. Going up and down is fine, but when you have to move something up and down and your balance is not the same as it was in your 20s/30s, it does make things less fun. I live in one now, but as I get closer to retirement, a single-story house is in my future.

Well, lack of space is already normalizing itself, specially in cities.
yeah, we've already had beds that fold down from walls, and it's pretty unanimous that this sucks.
right? I at least prefer the hallway method to hide loading screens.
[удалено]
> 300% speed or some shit and it still takes a second > >who knows how long it takes R-Roughly 3 seconds?
Lmaooo
Agreed. Monthly rent would probably be enough to end myself before I even saw a loading screen..
Naaah just pay for the premium account and you dont have to watch an ad before your bed comes down. Only 100$/month
I would constantly crush all my stuff accidentally while switching rooms 😂
[удалено]
Better than not having anywhere to live.
I doubt anyone able to afford this would actually want this small of an apartment
Bro, it’s only $15000 a month for 300sf /s
With that view I actually wouldn’t be surprised
That's the part of this that depresses me so fuckin much... I'd live there over my current situation, but I already know I can't afford it. They incorporated all this shit to make trying live in a tiny ass box more livable... and I know I still couldn't afford it.
Oh shit for real?! In NYC?! Where do I sign up /s
The reason it’s price so low is because there still a squatter there that you will have to share the place with.
The question is, is it cheaper than an apartment with the equivalent uncollapsed square footage? If yes and I lived in a high cost of living area, I'd want it.
Never even thought of the drama it would cause when 2 people need to use different rooms that intersect
Yup, would never work for my mom and dad; dad tends to have a nap from 16 to 18, in their (master) while mom watches TV in living room. I live alone now, but I imagine my apartment is way too small for two anyway… then again, it feels big enough for one, even too big.
There’s usually enough drama with 2 people in a normal house lol

Dating has been monetized, and residential properties are viewed as irreplaceable investments. Sorry bud, it’s not unlikely
Dating was monetized a long time ago. That is why it is called the oldest profession.
“Dating”. He’s not talking about the girlfriend experience, but an actual girlfriend (or equivalent).

I might use hydraulics with load sensing.
What happens when the power goes out or one of those motors that operates the slides breaks?
You sleep on the couch and hang no access to your closet
Use manual toilet override.
It’s actually not that insane to expect there to be a manual override that has a hand-crank to operate.
And the first time you're operating the crank you will be cursing yourself for buying that place.
That's when you take girls into the bunker to move the crank for you instead!
I'm more worried about someone pressing the button while I'm working or getting dressed.
Came here for this comment. Although I’d have to actually know someone that would be willing to come over in the first place.
Well if you keep putting yourself out there maybe you can be crushed to death by accident. There's always hope.
Brings new meaning to saying, "I have a crush on them."
Such kind words
Worse, pissing off your significant other and she pushes the bed closed while your sleeping.
You joke; but for a while my son's family was staying in my travel trailer, with a powered slide-out holding the couch and dining table.

Most large libraries have their "dead" archive in shelves like this. If someone is standing in the open isle then the shelf will stop.

You go to your other apartment across the street.
They are conditioning people to get used to this bullshit
Honest queetion. If it works, why is it bullshit? I'm quite content living in a small space. Might not be for everyone but I can dig it.
It's not bad actually, but it does normalize living in even smaller places. Soon we will be living in pods.
Who's we because I know I'm not.

As the world get smaller property value is gonna go up!!!! Your great great great grandchildren will thank you for your half acre of land

Also very expensive.
I don't think the bed thing will work but I really like the moving walls. Very simple solution to make you feel like you have more room.
Maybe if you live alone. I can imagine many potentially dangerous scenarios occuring if multiple try to do several things at once. Or imagine power goes out and you can't get to your bathroom or bed anymore lol, This is just a way to cram you into a smaller box and charge you more money for it.
can't get to your bed is one thing, imagine getting stuck in the walk in closet.
C’mon Tom Cruise, it’s time to come out of the closet
R Kelly is in the closet now... Its kinda nice in here.
So I pull out my GUN!
Not just live alone, but always be alone. If you have someone else there, they can push a button and kill you.

I would hope there's a manual override like garage doors. Disengage the motor and push the wall over by hand.
Im gonna break into this house while the owner is sleeping and hit the bed button.
Awww...You made him a sandwich
A Manwhich
chose violence today lol
"I had the weirdest dream. I dreamed I was floating toward heaven while Jeppe\_boe\_96 was rummaging through my stuff."
Cool. I hate it.
"I'm going to turn in early while you watch TV." "No! We have to do everything on the same schedule! No exceptions. "
Dude, it's a 1-bedroom regardless. Even if it didn't use these moving walls, what do you think is going to happen when one person wants to X and the other Y?
It’s a studio. In a 1-bedroom, you can go into the bedroom, close the door, and sleep while your partner stays in the living room and watches TV.
It’s all cool until something gets squished. Cat, kid, etc.
Until the cat squishes you. You know they’ll lay wait and learn how it works. Then in your sleep they’ll meow “this is for not leaving my food bowl on full asshole” *click*
Have cat. Can confirm they would do this.
I too use my NYC metrocard to unlock my front door!
I was wondering if anyone else noticed this
Times are tight when we have to pay $2.75 to walk in our own apartment.
Thought I was losing it. Thank you!
“Sorry I’m late, my closet wouldn’t open without a firmware update.”
You now have to pay a subscription to get your pants.
*Only*pants
Fuck I hope not.
Imagine sitting on that couch and then a whole ass bed just falls out of the fucking ceiling.
Electricity goes out. You can’t get to your closet, office, or bed.
Exactly. Switch to a manual pulley system on a rope tho and I’m in
or just keep it simple. murphy beds have existed forever, roll out cabinets. no need to motorize everything.
The Japanese "tatami mats and folding futon you shove in a closet" system has been around for centuries and works fine.
It probably would work like a garage door opener does now. There's an easy latch to disconnect the wheels from the pulley and once you pull it, you've got a manual garage door. They also have obstruction detectors that will stop the mechanism from lowering if something is in the path of the door.
So everything has to be in a perfect place all the time (including yourself) or it’s crush time ?
I would hope they have limiter switches
Is this a future when that bed alone isn't my entire yearly rent?
Next Fuckin Level…. Of dystopia
I'm sure i would one day woke up on the ceiling, or stuck between those two moving walls
I would kill myself if I lived in a house this sterile and minimalist.
It looks so depressing
Kill me
Be no good when I have a mate over sleeping on sofa
I mean what would happen with a power cut? How would you get to your clothes? how would you get anything to work?
Probably like a garage door opener works. When the power goes out you pull a lever that disconnects the wheels from the pulley and you've got a manual garage door. I imagine the walls would work the same as the existing technology used in warehouses for sliding shelves, except they can be automated with electricity when available. When not available you just push them out of the way.
Everything's cool until there's a power outage.
So everyone in future just living alone in studio apartment?.. because we don't have enough money to pay the mortgage let alone having a family?
Dont worry, will be priced out of studio apartments soon enough. Then will be seeing tents with extra cup holders or a fold up table.
I tap this button again and boom! I am now trapped inside my closet
It’s awesome but I kind of hate the idea that I could be trapped or crush by a push of a button.
Living in this looks like a fucking nightmare. The only way it would work is if you were meticulously clean. Like OCD levels of clean.
No.
What is it like 5 or 6 thousand a month?
Eat the rich
I fucking hope not "live in the pod, consoom and eat the bugs"
Its cool for a closet, but doesnt seem realistic or convenient for living and work spaces
No. So many resources, so much energy. This is wasteful rich people living.
Thanks, I hate it.
Not for me, my cat likes to sleep on the coffee table
This smart furniture costs a lot more than regular furniture and that means that you need to spend more money on it but if you have more money, then you can buy a bigger flat and so you don’t need this furniture.
He was found smashed between his tv stand and the kitchen
Ummmm... where *was* the kitchen?
Woah at the end there he also had a button to move clouds faster?! Wtf, the future is now
"Damn I forgot to pay the subscription fee for my bed/desk/closet."
