Architecture studio Cavaa has revamped this apartment in Vilanova i la Geltrú, Spain, using multi-functional furniture to maximise the space.
Called Galla House, the two-bedroom apartment features a kitchen counter with a built-in bench and a storage unit that doubles as a window seat.

Cavaa made changes to the floor plan, including removing walls to make the apartment more open plan.
"This apartment started from a conventional structure organised with enclosed spaces, a distributing corridor and a small south-facing balcony," said Cavaa.
"The new design expands the house with a new terrace in the block's courtyard and arranges the interior rooms to bring them closer to the expanded open space."

Entering through the front door, a new built-in wardrobe to the left holds coats and shoes.  Straight ahead, another space-saving furniture unit forms an L-shape against the perimeter walls. A deep window seat is cut out from this piece, with cupboards and drawers below, forming the perfect vantage point for the Galla House's feline occupants.

Mirrors cover the doors of the adjacent unit, enhancing the sense of space.
Round the corner, in the open plan living room, a bench forms a seating area for the dining table. Hinges on the seats allow access to the storage bins beneath.

Across the room, the kitchen is demarked by a third furniture element. Counters line one side, forming a half wall with an added glass partition that continues to the ceiling.
