Fellow Flickr user Simple Simon created an impressive and very creative layout concept for such an extremely small space.
As a university student living in a dormitory, I have plenty of recent experience in arranging absurdly small spaces, so I thought I might be able to present a viable alternative design.
This layout, incorporating the same 8.5x11 foot space, gives the occupant a little more breathing room (even the small bathroom ceiling is 7+ feet tall, and the large space retains the full 10ft. height) as well as some extra amenities.
I started by replacing the loft with a simple bunked bed and was then able to incorporate a futon love seat for relaxing or even hosting a guest or two.
I removed the bathroom sink and added a mirror in the kitchen, like some of the users who left comments on Simon’s album suggested, and lowered the bathroom ceiling to create a handy storage shelf (accessible via a wall-mounted ladder) with more than 60 available cubic feet of space.
The full 10-foot ceiling in the main living area even has room for a bike, a dedicated (but very small) computer desk, and a full kitchen counter top.
