I Designed the SMALLEST Possible STUDIO APARTMENT (8 sqm / 86 sqft)

What’s the absolute smallest a home can be… and still work? In this video, I take on a self-initiated, extreme design challenge: Design a fully functional studio apartment in just 8 square meters (86 sqft). Could you live in a space this tiny? Note: throughout the video I mentioned several times the wrong area 9.3 sqm/100 sqft. That's a typo sorry. My original concept had those dimension and I later realised I could go even smaller! The actual area of this challenge is 8 sqm / 86 sqft as per the title! Inside, there’s a kitchen, a bathroom, storage, a desk, and even a bed—carefully designed to fit together like a puzzle. This isn’t about glorifying tiny homes. It’s about pushing design to its limits and rethinking what we truly need to live well. 🎥 Watch the full process—from the historical context, to sketches, to realistic 3D renders—and see how great design can turn even the smallest space into a livable, meaningful home. 🔔 Subscribe for more design experiments, space-saving strategies, and thoughtful architecture. 🛠 Designed by Lorenzo Centioni, your Italian architect in London | Founder of Centioni Architects Disclaimer: This video is for educational and entertainment purposes only.
