The world’s smallest functional apartment (7 photos)

Just looks like an Ikea showhouse
H^S

It doesn't look that small…. try a 50sqft. "2 bedroom" apartment in Manhattan, in which 4 people live.

an escape slide? (would actually be awesome if true)

Possibly a bath

I found myself hoping against hope that this was true. EPIC.

I would have to agree with tommybhoy, it looks like it's a bathtub.

You could bring a date home and have sex in three or four rooms at once.

This place is in Seattle. I work right by the building.The guy in the pics is the one who designed it. He works for Boeing designing interiors. The thing in the floor in pic 4&5 is a tub. From a local article about it.

"The uber-cool, fully functional 182-square-foot home for two on the basement floor of a 102-year-old apartment building that Sauer is finishing after seven years of work.".

Here is a link to the article.

You literally made me laugh at loud. This apartment needs to be at least…three times bigger

Yeah, open concept isn't so great when there is no door to the bathroom and someone is taking a dump while you're cooking….

i think i've seen smaller apartments that probably didn't even cost as much. i used to work in a studio and these people turned their little recording space in to luxury suites.

The huge kitchen and bathroom don’t fit the rest. Props for watching Pi the movie though.

I've seen any number of apartments in New York City that are MUCH smaller than this.

Maybe i'm limiting the definition of "functional", but this place seems a bit more than that.
