The small living movement is encouraging many of us to get creative and make the most of even the tiniest spaces. A case in point is the Garibaldi renovation project in Paris, where Studio IDA has turned an old triangular stable into a cozy tiny home. The main highlight of the project is the clever use of curves in the design, which has transformed the space into a cozy, modern retreat.
The design team has smartly customized a 20-square-meter area for downsized living. As you enter, you find a small seating area with a round table to the right. Moving to the left is a two-sided kitchen with white marble countertop that can be used as a breakfast bar with two stools. Its tiled surface matches the seating base. Half part of the kitchen that accommodates the induction cooktop and other appliances is cleverly tucked under the staircase.
Once used for hay storage, the attic has been smartly converted into a mezzanine level to maximize the nearly 20-foot-high ceilings. A custom-made staircase with curved lines leads to the mezzanine floor that serves as a bedroom. This space is highlighted with exposed beams and a skylight that brings loads of natural light. There is also a bathroom complete with shower inside.

As of the exterior, the roof and façade have been revamped while the interior space is completely transformed and renovated for a refreshing, new look. The interior space is bathed in a simple white and rustic theme that gives a spacious feeling.
The design team has extensively used natural materials such as lime, terrazzo, marble and wood for the Garibaldi project. This tiny apartment design offers comfort and functionality of a standard home while honoring the architectural history of the building.
