Extreme Space Saving: Architects Design 74-Square-Foot Apart

Architects Beatriz Ramo and Bernd Upmeyer have designed a 74-square-foot apartment that they will use as a second home. The couple, who hail from Spain and Germany respectively, are based in Rotterdam; the apartment is sited there, in what was previously a storage unit in a residential building.

建筑师Beatriz Ramo和Bernd Upmeyer设计了一套74平方英尺的公寓，他们将把它作为第二个家。这对夫妇分别来自西班牙和德国，总部设在鹿特丹;公寓就坐落在那里，以前是一栋住宅楼的储藏室。

To make the space livable, the couple pulled out every trick in the book. To orient you, let's assume the window is the south wall.

为了使这个空间适合居住，这对夫妇使出了书中的每一招。让我们假设窗户是南墙。

This is the view facing northeast:

这是东北方向的风景：

Behind the model is the apartment's front door. On the north wall are a series of doors and drawers concealing the kitchen, dining table and closet, as well as the bathroom, to the left.

模型后面是公寓的前门。北墙上有一系列的门和抽屉，隐藏着厨房、餐桌和壁橱，以及左边的浴室。

Above you can see the sleeping space.

上面可以看到睡觉的地方。

This is the view within the bathroom, facing east. Shockingly the bathroom has, next to it, a spa with both a whirlpool tub and a micro-sauna of sorts. )The micro-sauna is not visible in the photos, but is in the video below.) Above the spa you can see pass-through storage units that are accessible from the sleeping space.

这是浴室里的景色，朝东。令人震惊的是，浴室旁边有一个水疗中心，里面有一个按摩浴缸和一个微型桑拿浴室。）微型桑拿在照片中看不到，但在下面的视频中。）在水疗中心上方，您可以看到可从睡眠空间进入的直通存储单元。

The video gives you a look at how the space works:

My big question is if the humidity from the bathroom creates issues. I imagine the ladder that's stored in the bathroom and used to reach the bed loft, is made out of aluminum.

我最大的问题是浴室的湿度是否会造成问题。我想存放在浴室里的梯子是用铝做的。

I appreciate how frank Ramo was, when asked if this is how everyone in the Netherlands should live:

我很欣赏拉莫的坦率，当被问到这是否是荷兰每个人都应该过的生活时：

"No, absolutely not. This is a very personal project that we did for ourselves. This is not the solution to the housing crisis."

“不，绝对不行。这是我们为自己做的一个非常私人的项目。这不是解决住房危机的办法。"
