A Tiny Office


We are in the heart of Paris and this is a rooftop space which used to be an old machine room that  previously housed a motor lift. It was in pretty bad shape due to the weather and since it had been vacant for a long time. When a design team rented the place decided to renovate it and completely transform it with the minimum possible budget. The team paid particular attention to economy of means and space but yet to be fully functional...... 






Here is an "emergency desk"...

The design used the raised elevation of the new floor to conceal and a foam seat under trap doors,
which can also be transformed into bed! What a unique idea!...





You won't believe how it used to look like before they renovate it...

  1. Although small, this office isn't too shabby, either. I always like clever use of tiny space and this couldn't be a better example! Great find, Olga!

  2. That's pretty amazing and it feels like it has lots of natural light, which is great.
    The saying 'small but perfectly formed' really fits here !

  11. It is tiny, indeed, but you used all the space in such a clever way, good job! My office isn't all too big either, but I don't have your skills to make the most out of it, just a few decorations here and there and that's all.
