Family's Minimalist Micro-Apartment Features Natural Materials, Flexible Layout

Raising a family in 430 square feet in Hong Kong is not unusual, but this apartment certainly is. Perhaps the most remarkable feature is this desk that rises out of the floor, think about the possibliites! At the end of the day you finish your work at home and not only does the work go away, the whole desk does too. It becomes part of the floor and you can jump up and down on it and yell that you are not looking at it until tomorrow. Everyone should have this.
