A "smart" apartment near Manhattan, which accommodates several living spaces and occupies only 30 square meters per floor. The wardrobe, working on the principle of a compartment, divides the living room and the dressing room.

On the same 30 squares there is a kitchen and a combined bathroom.

On the other hand, the average size of the "free" area for living in buses of this type is 25-30 square meters, and the resulting Hank's "apartment" is an excellent example of reasonable use of space.
