Living in the attic: comfortable apartment of 18 square meters
Someone thinks that 40 or 25 square meters is not enough for a comfortable life. And some have to huddle in dwellings with a square footage not reaching even 20 meters.

Due to the fact that it was necessary to allocate space for two sleeping places at once, one of them was raised to the second level. They did it thanks to the construction of steel and plywood. A compact kitchen-dining area and part of the storage systems were located under the berth. The second berth is in the living room and also serves as a sofa for receiving guests – a completely logical solution for a small size.
