There are plenty of tiny apartments that we have featured on Decoist, but few if any were as tiny as this super-small apartment in Paris that is no more than just 8 square meters in size. The ergonomic and self-sufficient apartment unit was once a maids room and it sits on the attic level of a building that is both timeless and elegant. The homeowners wanted a space that could function all on its own and hence Kitoko Studio had to fit in a small kitchenette, loft bed, dining area and a bathroom into the limited area without sacrificing sense of spaciousness.
