Wardrobe apartment

This Clever Wardrobe Hides An Entire Apartment

A decent example of pull-out workspaces. Not everything makes sense here since there is plenty of space required behind the doors of the wardrobe, but there are a few good ideas.

The New LoftCube on the Rooftop of Hotel Daniel in Graz, Austria

Not a shipping container, but any kind of prefab living space like this can give inspiration. That's sure a lot of glass on the outside for something with an open bathroom.

Just a compact living idea. Nothing too special about the implementation, but a good idea. The "side" chairs could have a shorter base allowing for a pull out ottoman from the middle.
