Apartment Reworked with Modern European Design All Builtins

In a previous post I sketched up an example of what Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian builin style sofa bank might look like reworked in a contemporary polychromatic wood palette. In this post I use that palette to work up the entire living space of an all builtins example apartment. Note that the sofa bank easily converts into three 38 x 80 single beds. With the back cushions removed additional storage is expsosed. The dining table is builin merging into kitchen shelving and storage space on the kitchen side. On the living room side the builtin sofa adjacent to the table acts as a small booth for one person - or two people who are very close :) Opposite the sofa bank is a storage wall with a kitchen height counter terminating into a builtin desk for internet and office work. Very bright 4K laser projectors make very large screen projection TV quite feasible. A possible configuration for this is depicted in the images. As I mentioned in a previous post the projected screen

image is taken from the public domain film 'My Man Godfrey'. The NYC panorama is from copyright free pixabay.com. I should also mention that the base cabinets on the storage wall side of the apartment are cantilevered - so robotic vacuums can get in there and clean up - and also to provide convenient storage space for shoes, boxes, and clunky items. There is also much storaage space underneath the sofa bank.
