An Incredibly Fun Madrid Apartment Full Of Hidden Compartments And Trap Doors

By Jillian Wong, 28 Jan 2014


It seems Madrid is a hot spot for innovative microapartments. On the heels of a surprisingly livable tiny apartment smaller than a parking garage comes a similar apartment that has secret compartments and trap doors everywhere.

Located in an attic, it features a table, a bookcase, a hammock, a swing, and a disco ball that magically lower from the ceiling with the twist of a wall handle. Transparent panels that slide along rails allow different rooms to be created, enabling the kitchen to be separated from the living room or the creation of an additional guest room.

The second level contains trap doors that utilize the spaces between the wooden beams–the bathroom floor contains storage space while the bedroom is host to a secret tea room. Most ingeniously, a trap door in the floor opens up to reveal a dressing table containing a mirror on the back, with the empty table space creating a ‘seat’.

All the furniture is cleverly concealed and the walls were designed such that they are easy to push aside to make more space, making it a perfect fit for the owner’s lifestyle, a DJ who loves throwing parties.
