This ultra-chic Paris micro studio is part home, part transformer

The studio, referred to as Marie Josephine, is the epitome of space-saving architecture and design.

Starting in the kitchen, most everything of use is hidden behind a minimalist façade.

Seating is also covert, with a cobalt blue table and chairs that fold down flat when not in use.

The old saying "Necessity is the mother of invention" is never more appropriate than when trying to design a beautiful home in an extremely <a href="https://inhabitat.com/tag/tiny-homes/">tiny space</a>. Parisian architects, <a href="http://batiik.fr/portfolio/marie-josephine/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Batiik Studio</a>, however, have managed to create one spectacular home design out of just 118 square feet by outfitting the entire space with transforming furniture.

The loveseat couch doubles as a fold out bed and a small table pulls double duty as nightstand and coffee table.

Neutral colors keep the space light and airy and beautiful arches add character to the apartment.

The studio space even has a sweet outdoor patio.
